• The price of Candle 79, the quality of Ponderosa

I was so excited to hear about a new vegan restaurant in New Jersey. With little info on their website or Facebook, my wife and I decided to give it a try for brunch. When we arrived at 1PM, for a 2PM closing, we were told we were late and that they ran out of some food but would be replenishing what they could. I got the last of the tempeh, the last of the tofu scramble, a biscuit, and a pancake. My wife got the last of the kale and the last of the french toast (one piece). The kale tasted like it was raw, the french toast tasted stale. And the replenishing of the food? It was literally two biscuits and two pancakes even though they clearly had more in the back. I laughed it out the whole time as I would watch each disappointed person walk up to the buffet and see nothing there, or when two guys realized at the same time there was only one biscuit. It was all pretty silly until we went to pay the price of $22.50 plus tax a person. This was straight up gouging and pricing people out of veganism. They turned some customers away near the end, who presumably went to buy animal products somewhere down the road.
