So I was involved for a while with our local Democrats club. I got 2 meals off the top of my head.
The first was at a banquet that I wasn't even going to go to. But they "pulled some strings" and talked the chef into making me a special dish. Fucking fine sure I'll go. So the meal was a dry as fuck salad with just lettuce and carrots and no dressing for the appetizer. Then the entre was overcooked penne and severely over steamed veggies. It was fucking insultingly bland too. couldn't have even added mushrooms or beans or whatever.
The second was at a supposedly upscale Italian place and since I'm autistic I checked the menu like the day before to both make sure I can eat there and to plan what I was going to order. The meal I asked for was a pasta with marinara, mushrooms and jalapenos. Nowhere did it say it had parmesan cheese in it. First it took a goddamn hour to get to the table. And second as I started eating I noticed stringy white cheese and the telltale sign of parm sticking to the prongs of my fork. I'm not a fucking idiot and I've only been vegan for 1.5 years so I fucking know what cheese looks like. I asked them if they fucked it up and they said of course not but they could double check with the kitchen to make sure. They had the audacity to come back and say they made it vegan but will comp my beer as a generosity. Like I said I'm not a fucking idiot.
I have a thing about food waste and it was an hour of waiting so I did begrudgingly eat it and like I'm still pissed about it but mostly for being so obviously gaslit over them fucking up.
On the flip side we have a vegan junk food food truck here that is ran by a pair of sisters that I'm convinced are legit anarchists. They work with the local Food not Bombs too.
And we hav another place that just went brick and mortar that has a full vegan menu that is most of their non vegan stuff but vegan-ified. Mostly texmex which is just fine by me.
And we have a gastro-pub hister joint that has fucking amazing food and about 1/4 of the menu is vegan and they are always running vegan specials.
Those three places will always get my money.
