The event runs from July 1 to July 31 and welcomes all patrons, regardless of their dietary preferences, to enjoy innovative and delicious vegan dishes.
During the month-long challenge, each restaurant will feature specially crafted menu items designed to appeal to both vegan enthusiasts and non-vegans alike. Diners will have the opportunity to sample these creations and vote for their favorite dishes online until July 31. The feedback gathered from this voting process not only recognizes the chefs for their hard work but also awards prizes to those who stand out during the competition.
This year’s participating restaurants include popular local spots such as The Hummus Bowl, Taqueria Jalisco, and Scoop Around Ice Cream Bar. Each establishment is gearing up to showcase unique vegan offerings. The Hummus Bowl is introducing four new vegan options this month, including a tortilla wrap and a traditional Egyptian dish called koshari. Meanwhile, Taqueria Jalisco is presenting a vegan version of its signature Huarache Mx, featuring nopales, refried beans, and salsa, catering to those looking for a flavorful, plant-based meal. Scoop Around Ice Cream Bar will be serving a refreshing mango-based vegan Italian ice topped with a homemade peach sauce, providing a sweet treat for diners.
New Additions and Community Engagement
In addition to these distinctive dishes, Be Caffeinated is adding a delectable apple cinnamon vegan muffin to its menu, further enriching the selection of plant-based offerings available this month. The event aims to promote a vegan lifestyle and enhance the accessibility of vegan options across the city.
As the challenge aims to grow in 2023, organizers are actively encouraging more local businesses to participate in the event. By inviting additional restaurants to join the challenge, the organizers hope to expand the reach of plant-based dining and continue fostering an inclusive atmosphere for all diners, regardless of their dietary habits.
