About this episode

I just got back from Las Vegas, and I'm sharing my favorite vegan food experiences from hidden local gems to restaurants that completely exceeded my expectations.In this episode I talk about incredible spots like Chef Kenny's, Earthly, Tacotarian, Daikon Sushi, Tarantino's, Crossroads, and the all-you-can-eat vegan Korean BBQ experience at Master Kim's. I also explain why I think some of the best vegan food in Vegas is found away from the Strip.In the second half of the episode, I respond to some recurring social media debates, including: • Is sugar vegan? • What does "may contain milk" really mean? • Where's the line between appreciating and appropriating food cultures? • How I approach vegan content while trying to honor the cuisines and creators who inspire me.Whether you're planning a trip to Las Vegas, looking for your next great vegan meal, or interested in thoughtful conversations about vegan food culture, I hope you enjoy the episode.If you like the podcast, don't forget to subscribe, leave a comment, and let me know what topic you'd like me to cover next!Send us Fan Mail
