We have partnered with our friends at Vegan Outreach to ask businesses to add vegan options, allowing diners to enjoy trying new vegan specials for one month. Chefs will be competing for your votes with creative and delicious plant-based options, and businesses often keep vegan specials on their permanent menu.
