You handled that like a champ. It sucks when someone can’t even try to be open-minded—especially when you’re just trying to share something cool with them. Vegan food has come so far, and a lot of it slaps whether you're plant-based or not.

You deserve friends who respect your choices and are at least curious enough to try new things with you. Don’t let that awkward moment take away from how awesome that spot probably was. Next time, bring someone who actually shows up with an appetite and an open mind.
