News For Reasonable People

Furious vegans shut down an LA restaurant in protest over its decision to drop its plant-based menu in favor of meat and dairy dishes.

Angry demonstrators swarmed on Sage Regenerative Kitchen & Brewery in Echo Park on Father's Day and were so disruptive the premises was forced to close.

The protest came after chef Molly Engelhart announced her decision to move away from a solely vegan menu.

The mob threw fake blood and daubed 'Chef Molly killer' outside the restaurant during the tense standoff.

'These people came inside of my restaurant, harassed my customers, my employees, vandalized my restaurant and openly said they'd like to put me out of business,' Engelhart told Fox Digital.
