To craigmc, for busy restaurant like poundie said it’s very hard for them to change their SOP, there are few Vietnam or Thai restaurant in New York is the same as well, they refuse to make their papaya salad by simply removed the fish sauce because they can’t avoid the cross contamination so they just simply ask you eat in another restaurant , it is a lot more thoughtful, responsible, and mature behavior, because there were cases before that for born and raised vegan consume cross contaminated meal and passed away later on because of the meal, so they are actually very responsible by telling the truth and they know that they are not hundred percent vegan restaurant and they know that they can’t handle the transformation so they simply telling you the truth. Those people deserved respect, because they understand the karma they are going to carry into their next life but they do their best with their current situation.
