EAT, DRINK
& BE VEGAN
Nicknamed “the vegan Coachella,” Pasadena, CA’s
annual Eat Drink Vegan festival draws upwards of
10,000 for unlimited all-day sips of more than 250
vegan beers, ciders, kombuchas, wines, and craft
sodas poured into attendees’ very own souvenir
tasting glasses. And if you thought the “Drink” of
this fest was impressive, the “Eat” will blow you
away. This year, VegNews editors devoured food
by vendors from around the world, including spicy,
crispy, fried chicken sandwiches by London’s
cult-favorite Temple of Seitan; drippy, beefy burgers
from Atlanta’s rising star Slutty Vegan; and authentic Italian desserts from West
Hollywood’s Pura Vita. What a time to eat, drink, and be vegan!
