Over at Charlie & Joe’s at Love Street, Beacon and its rooftop hideout, Topside at the Beacon, have upped their menu game with several vegan dishes including chickpea fries, roasted tomato bisque, smacked avocado stack, veggie stir-fry, and cauliflower steak.
“We took the popular dishes and gave them a modern makeover,” says Shane Johnson, executive chef at the Love Street waterfront restaurant hub. “A lot of food made from scratch can be made vegan with just a few minor adjustments or substitutions. For example, we use almond milk for the chickpea fries and tomato bisque, as well as hazelnuts to thicken. The selection of vegan products opens a lot of doors for chefs pushing the boundaries.” Johnson adds that the kitchen is dedicated to producing quality vegan dishes: “My goal is to make vegans feel catered to in an industry where sometimes their needs are left out.”
