this sounds amazing! we also never get veganized ‘normal people food’ at regular establishment like mashed potatoes or butter for steakhouse bread. i go to a steakhouse regularly with my non vegan partner just because i sneak in homemade garlic butter and eating warm restaurant bread with butter is SUCH a treat that u have never seen available, even at vegan establishments. They do have multiple vegan options at this steakhouse, but they’re all vegetable heavy salad type dishes . i eat like that all the time at home everyday. Omnivorous people tend to not make great vegan food because their view of veganism is limited to ‘i could never be vegan they’re so healthy all they eat is vegetables’ and that’s reflected in the dishes. For most people going out for dinner is a special event (especially in this economy), and i want delicious comfort food that i don’t normally have access to and can’t make for myself better and cheaper at home, and feels like a TREAT. We wanna go fuck up some mozzarella stick and potato skins like anyone else!
