We talked for all of two minutes because I think I offended her when I said “…like The Foundation. I love that place!” No, her bistro isn’t going to be like The Foundation at all. It’s going to feature uber-healthy nutritious vegan dishes targeted towards regular Joes who won’t know that what they’re eating isn’t actually meat. “Hmm” I thought, “I don’t know what you’re planning on putting in there to make the average Joe think they’re eating non-vegan, but I think you’re missing a major target market if you’re opening a vegan restaurant but refuse to target the vegan crowd.”

Honestly, I don’t understand why she was offended by the comparison to The Foundation. It’s one of my favourite places to dine in Vancouver and I’m not even vegetarian! The place is usually bustling with business because the food is good and the decor is what some people like to call “hip” or “trendy.” I just like the quotes on the walls. :)
