People Try Gourmet Vegan Food

[@houndlifevlogs1055]

I think at the end of the day it's all about seasoning and texture to make food taste good.😋

[@cafezo87934]

when you're borderline starving to death, you'll eat anything. seasoning or no seasoning.

[@Julian-bk6on]

Ana Carolina ok? What does that have to do with her comment? Lols

[@TheTastyVegan]

Exactly right, and thankfully texture is easy to replicate and seasonings are already vegan most of the time. Check out our Vegan Sweet and Sour Pork recipe if you wanna see it in action!😁

[@0pticG4mer]

if poo had a good texture and you seasoned it, it would taste good?

[@DmsStudios]

Unless we’re talking about sweet potatoes 😏

[@InUnderstandingMe]

A positive vegan video with no bad feedback or jokes 😱😱😱 Buzzfeed you on crack?!

[@user-ve4lx8be4o]

That Is My Prerogative ikr!!!

[@jayyyzeee6409]

Same here! So refreshing!!

[@kiahdale3858]

i can't believe it

[@InUnderstandingMe]

**Future voice** Sensational!!!

[@mstrdbear]

That Is My Prerogative A vegan walks into a bar and looks at the bartender and says "I'm vegan"

[@Cassieschumaker]

This made my heart so happy. Thank you for promoting veganism in the right light! It's never been easier to be vegan and it just gets better every day!

[@Cassieschumaker]

Andrew C I'm an older female. And no that's not true at all.

[@GabrieleMBest00]

Andrew C In 16 and not a hipster, the people converting to veganism are ones who have morals and a heart. Besides a majority of vegans are actually over 50...Please learn facts instead of saying bs, we hear enough of it as it is.

[@Cassieschumaker]

hannah kim that's amazing!!

[@eleonoramustafaeva1303]

They forgot this kind of delicious food either isn't sold in most towns or is at exorbitant prices. Usual vegans have to make do with no artificial meat

[@aleynadunn3557]

That's why they are trying to get more people to go vegan. If there's a higher demand for these gourmet vegan restaurants/foods, then more will be created.

[@papas_kp5323]

This makes me happy

[@indiand6460]

Finally: a buzzfeed video that it actually positive about veganism! Edit: what I've never got so many likes on a comment!?

[@lilianangeline8772]

im a happy gal

[@indiand6460]

Lilian Angeline ikr! Same! :D

[@kendriestock3600]

Agreed! I was hesitant to watch this because of the negativeness about veganism but I was pleasantly surprised :)

[@sailorprincesscute]

I don't think their videos are negative, only the comment section is...

[@user-ve4lx8be4o]

India ND ikr they always hating on lovers

[@trustingthepotter]

Wow is buzzfeed reading my mind literally just looked up vegan restaurants

[@SUPERBOWLXLVIICHAMPS]

You can't afford it

[@trustingthepotter]

You don't know what I can afford

[@hillerychan9483]

I love your profile photo😂

[@reedgraves4909]

SUPERBOWLXLVIICHAMPS you obviously couldn't afford an education or else you'd know better than to be rude to those you don't know.

[@ericawest1435]

What was that thing that looked like an egg yolk?? That was crazy

[@CarlosGutierrez-fy4wk]

Erica West that's what I was thinking

[@whateven1797]

Erica West if you haven't seen those edible water bottles look it up, I'd bet you they used the same technique there and probably used tumeric for colour

[@LindaDulcinea]

Ikr! I can't believe they showed that and then didn't mention it in the video!

[@josephd.4615]

Soy lecitin also is used. Search for molecular flavors here on youtube.

[@JetSetFork]

molecular gastronomy using calcium chloride for yolk spherification

[@Sha-Ne-Ru]

if restaurants like this were more common and readily available, im pretty sure half the world, if not more, would have gone at least vegan by now.

[@SangosEvilTwin]

There are plenty of restaurants like this in my city. Not even half of the city is vegan. Making it available is great for those who are, but assuming that everyone wants to be vegan but doesn't for convenience is lying to yourself.

[@irvancrocs1753]

funny enough there are many places like this in my city, but guess what some of them went bankruptcy, because there are only plenty people look for it lol..

[@dusa-]

If grocery stores sold the 'meat' products that taste just like meat and were at competitive prices in comparison to meat, I'd probably go for the vegan stuff instead just because I know it's better for the environment but you know, that'd be a perfect world, lol. Most vegan alternatives cost a ton of money, are harder to find, and half the time don't compare to the real thing.

[@rachkate76]

Nova Nocturne Best comment ever.

[@kiarasaunders6721]

No. Not half. Some people like the taste of meat and the tenderness. So it's about less than half of the world.

[@AnonYmous-lk9bk]

Im vegan and this is the stuff i dream about

[@Jbcblack]

sky shelgren no. Stop

[@AsiaThinks]

For reals. I want all of this

[@liriosilvestre7644]

Same lol

[@hillerychan9483]

Same

[@zpon01]

lol just go buy it anywhere but with real meat its easier to get

[@haleya6877]

The chicken and waffles looks so good

[@gabrielcoimbra7887]

Looks so good !! looking further for the day when people realise that you can be vegan without losing anything you eat, it just will benefit your health, environment, and sentient beings who can endure pain and suffering like we do!

[@Offensive_Username]

Hypocrite. As a vegan you still pollute the environment with synthetic material instead of leather and still kill bugs and ants.

[@BishtrainerTai16]

Yeah, if you can afford it. Those veggie burgers alone are $7 each. And that's the cheapest item they ate.

[@Jo-vw6mu]

nobody's perfect! and there are actually leathers made out of pineapple that are biodegradable!

[@ShinSakuraNoMai]

thats how much I spend on food about for 3 meals xD ... dayum.

[@masha7377]

I doubt that this imitation meat is any healthier than actual (organic) meat.

[@AnonomusKity]

Vegan for the planet's ecosystems, the animals, and for our personal nutrition / health. Three birds one stone....literally a revolutionary act to have common sense

[@eleanorlarson6483]

I LOVE YOU SM

[@Highstranger951]

Explain how animal overpopulation is beneficial to an ecosystem. And also you just killed three birds... hypocrite.

[@amimcelle8063]

Colin Vo Bey I'm slowing making the transition to being a vegan. But as of right now I don't have dairy anyways (intolerance), and I prefer not to consume eggs. It is better for the environment this way.

[@laibaj176]

Do you really think the animals that we eat would be overpopulated if we didnt eat them?! Jesus, you need to do some reading. We meateaters are the ones overbreeding them FOR us to eat.

[@marije-382]

Highstranger951 eating eggs isn't killing chickens.. it's like a period

[@bentn13]

Sorry, but this isn't gourmet vegan food, it's just normal food substitutes. The impossible burger is supposed to be something most people could eat. What you've shown us here is all things meant to substitute what we currently eat tit for tat rather than show that something amazing can be made full vegan without trying to be "normal". Vegan is normal, it's using fruits and veg and a bunch of stuff that everyone else uses.

[@vianjelos]

Benjamin Tirone Nunes Most gormet food is just regular food..its just made by a high class chef with high quality ingreidents..theres very few "gormet" foods that you cant make at home with lesser quality ingredients.

[@mattisencox8176]

Exactly lol! I was expecting actual gourmet food, not another video of non-vegans eating fast-food grade vegan substitutes. None of these things would be considered gourmet if they were replaced with real meat, just a basic cheese burger, chicken and waffles, and a salad. As a vegan foodie, I'm disappointed ngl lol.

[@fallaciousjinx]

Thank you. Don't get me wrong: Since I've been a vegetarian for now more than 18 years, I appreciate the vegan food. Since I love to eat, I appreciate burgers/sandwiches. But calling burgers/sandwiches gourmet (meatless or not) doesn't seem right...

[@alainerina]

If you try any of the food at Crossroads you'll understand, that place is next level!

[@Gee-xb7rt]

Alaina Wilson the food is geared toward white people that rent intown "luxury" apartments. just because you misuse a word doesn't mean the meaning of the word changes. this place isn't gourmet, its a good option for a vegan version of any other local independent restaurant, but its not gourmet.

[@allisonsulouff6966]

How the hell is this "gourmet"? They used Gardein in almost every meal! You can find that in the frozen section of every grocery store ever.

[@dubiousenthusiast]

Allison Sulouff I totally agree. Not saying it wouldn't taste good, but "gourmet"?? I make stuff like this at home.

[@NKraven88]

im sure the chef could do gourmet, but they want people to be able to relate to the foods so they used normal everyday foods. so i think the title is misleading as hell. also i think the price may be to the gourmet level. (that kind of veg meat patty doesnt come cheap)

[@hodcor]

I'm not vegan/veg but I think this is great. Curious to know what this costs.

[@eleanorlarson6483]

It can cost whatever you make it. Anyone can go vegan! you should too!!

[@mattisencox8176]

Most of the things in the video can be homemade pretty cheaply. Gardein is usually quite cheap for their prepackaged bags of frozen substitutes like the chicken in the video at around $3-$5 and the Impossible burger at restaurants as a meal with sides can be anywhere from $10 to $15 usd from what I have seen. Hope that helped!

[@irvancrocs1753]

+Eleanor Larson sounds good, but i'll pass...

[@GabrieleMBest00]

If you learn to cook at home, then this would be very cheap. Anyone can go vegan, the 'expensive' stereotype is just annoying

[@user-iy8oj1kb7f]

Honestly the cost isn’t expensive at all!! My parents are against it but I convinced them because the cost of a couple of my meals is the same as a single burger at a fast food restaurant. It’s awesome the economical, global, ethical, and health impact veganism brings!!

[@moonstonestiitsia2997]

[@moonstonestiitsia2997]

IR B, this article is false information. Eating animals results in world-hunger and global-warming because the animals are fed most of the land in the factories and these animals are being fed to us; keeping word hunger alive and destoying the planet and the sentient beings on this planet. Also, Veganism and vegetarianism are different from each other. Profit is the main reason for this process.

[@MitchellHang]

i love being vegan, but this is not gourmet vegan food lol i eat gardein normally

[@JVerschueren]

Apple sauce in waffles... vegan or not, that's brilliant, out-of-the-box thinking. Just think of all the fruits which "sauce" easily and benifit from a little caramelisation. I'm rolling with this...

[@Angle-gm1dq]

1:38 the applesauce part is used by a lot of vegans when making food its just that none of us use it because we're used to using eggs and dairy.

[@jillianliner7486]

Make more of these vegan videos please

[@alyssa3288]

These people were so respectful and open minded to the food and veganism all together! Very happy!

[@janiecealbell8530]

I hate it when people think vegan or vegetarian is automatically healthy eating. It really isn't. A basic nutrition class will tell you that

[@janiecealbell8530]

Kimberley Jackson many vegans don't plan their diet out well and end up not consuming the nutrients that they need

[@janiecealbell8530]

Kimberley Jackson um my point is, is that just because your vegan or vegetarian doesn't mean your eating healthy. I'm a freaking nurse I have nothing against veganism or vegetarianism. Lol

[@janiecealbell8530]

Kimberley Jackson also that does have something to do with veganism. They are more prone to deficiencies

[@janiecealbell8530]

Kimberley Jackson why are you so defensive? Id you didn't like my comment then don't post on it. Simple

[@janiecealbell8530]

Kimberley Jackson also I posted this comment because of other dumbasses in the comment section

[@birdsong3786]

Vegan gourmet foods: Chicken and waffles, burger, salad Normal gourmet food: A scallop+a leaf+1 drop of sauce

[@TheDoodLbot]

Vegan food take it a step further to convince meat eaters to stop eating meat... by letting them eat 'meat'. It looks good tho, not going to lie. If I had money, I'd hit that. 😄

[@LM-te9qj]

TheDoodLbot meat eaters and the industry constantly shove "meat" in our face. Walk outside at a station or watch tv and you see 10 ads from mcdonalds, ice creams, chocolate etc

[@TheDoodLbot]

- // I get you. But is it like a way to keep vegans vegan or convince meat-eaters to go vegan, or both? I don't mind it either way tho. A lot of vegan food looks good, but it probably won't convince me to go full vegan any time soon.

[@indeviox]

TheDoodLbot youre fine, id hit that too 😉

[@Chloe-ru2eb]

i think you're using the wrong slang unless having sex with food is something you're into

[@TheDoodLbot]

Chloe Yeah, I know 😆 Sorry, was trying to be comedic with. Like, I like food *that* much. But I guess it didn't pan out well. *badum tss* Okay, I'll leave now.

[@HelloKidney.]

Thanks for being so kind buzzfeed! :)

[@Lehison]

"Bout time Buzz Feed!!!!

[@TigerGreene]

This is really cool to watch regular people who are not all vegan getting impressed by the possibilities and considering trying veganism.

[@Patralgan]

I used to be a full meatard over 7 years ago. Sometimes I would eat nothing else but 1kg of meat in my meal. Then I decided to go vegetarian for ethical reasons and I was almost a vegan until about 4 years later I did go fully vegan and in very glad that I don't have to have any animal products to have super delicious foods. Each meal is a pleasure, even if it's really cheap and simple. Of course I still love to eat "meat" , but it's always vegan.

[@TheSonar129]

[@Gangstereinhorn]

Save yourself from shoving bad things into your body. Dairy products and meat isn't good for us in any way.

[@rhiannajay9687]

@scrappy Velazquez cancer, diabetes, obesity, osteoporosis, heart disease high blood pressure, high cholesterol, cataracts, arthritis

[@rhiannajay9687]

+shoe laces nope. even processed vegan foods are better than meat regardless of if its red or not. Animal protein found in meat dairy and in eggs is too acidic for the body which, i'm not going to go into depth here, causes osteoporosis. even white meat has high amounts of saturated fat and chicken s in many farms are fed arsenic which is highly toxic to humans. Even fish isn't as good for you as the food industry wants us to believe because it contains again high levels of arsenic and mercury .

[@rhiannajay9687]

hannah kim yes ! i had low iron too and its gone up since going vegan !x

[@flowerangel502]

okay but what was that egg "yolk" in the thumbnail and in that one pasta dish that they showed as b-film but didn't try?

[@happysnappyd7640]

Vegetarian = not eat meat Vegan = not eat or use anything that comes from a animal, for example “egg, fur, milk”

[@GabrieleMBest00]

HappySnappy :D Actually Vegan: to cause least amount of harm to animals through diet, entertainment and products. Veganism is not a diet

[@sianpursglove4346]

I hope that restaurants like this will start spreading everywhere so that more people can try it! If I could buy this stuff in the shops at a similar price to the real stuff, I would turn vegan for sure, and I think a lot of people will too especially if people are blindfolded when they taste test then get told and then be fascinated if any of that makes sense lol

[@mmloverjm]

Ok now I know he lied about that chicken and waffles. Over Roscoe's? Really?

[@alexandriasomers4805]

Gourmet food but most of this stuff they sell at Walmart/Whole Foods/Publix/Kroger ! Gardein is about the cost of other meat foods and the impossible burger is usually around the same price !

[@newdrew2744]

[@theAppleWizz]

it was not egg

[@noraa.616]

8 billion chickens in one year and just in one country are consumed (the United States). And the average chicken is around 5 pounds, and each pound of chicken uses 500 gallons of water to raise! No wonder there’s a global warming problem and that the amazons forests are being cut off right now even though we need the oxygen those forests provide and we need those forests’ ability to absorb co2 (since co2 is what’s causing global warming) ... and people wonder why some people are vegan for environmental purposes- this is why :oSo thank you again buzzfeed for the vegan video!!!

[@janinavlogs]

I'd love to go vegan, but it's expensive. Bareburger, regular burger is $8-$9. Impossible burger is $13-$14. Why is it more expensive if it supposedly uses less resources, using plants instead of animals? Can I get a cheap vegan fast food burger, like the McDonald's, Burger King, Wendy's kind? Sometimes all I can afford to spend is $1-$3 on a meal, and/or I'm in a rush. by Chloe's, it's not really fast, the cheapest burger I can get is around $9. So thanks Buzzfeed for all the pro-vegan videos, but address the cost and accessibility issue, not the taste, which isn't an issue for a lot of people.

[@kimwilson7991]

This is a geat video. No bias, no misconceptions about veganism. Just some nice, honest people, educationg us about more compassionate and sustainable food.

[@littlemiss_missfit7377]

I just don't like meat. the "substitutions I get taste like the vegetables they are made from (squash, potatoes, yam, corn, sprouts etc) because fake meat is as bad as regular meat to me taste wise I think the it tastes just like meat is for people who want to be better but are too lazy or picky to want to change their diet and eat the same (usually unhealthy) things minus meat

[@Ilikefrogs..]

I can't eat most meat subs because I'm allergic to gluten, so I usually just make my own. You can pretty much any fake meat you want out of tofu, and it tastes great.

[@eleanorlarson6483]

i love this comment

[@Irishrebel092]

I think peoples opinions of what "cruelty free" actually means is kinda flawed. I shot a deer two weeks ago and it dropped instantly. bullet hit it's lungs, heart, and spine so it did not suffer or feel any pain. that deer is the definition of organic and free range. The meat will last me till next season which means I don't have to buy meat from the store which probably comes from factory farms.

[@Amraston]

Andrew, thats fine, but 1) no option for 7,5 billion people and 2) not the kind of meat origin you would get in a restaurant.

[@Irishrebel092]

yeah, for 7 billion people we're gonna have to just get over the fact that meat is a required part of the human diet. a full vegan diet is not sustainable for people who don't live in developed countries with a grocery store on each corner. as for the meat served in restaurants, you could idk, learn to cook your own food... my entire point was that "cruelty free" can mean different things to people. to me it just means the animal didn't suffer, while to others that means no animals were involved at all.

Okay but there was bibimbap in the thumbnail and there was no bibimbap

[@esmee928]

YASSSSS BUZZFEED!!!!!! 😍

[@BroadwayNerrd]

I’m from Akron, Ohio and my family ate at his restaurant. The food was sooo good!

[@chrisman6933]

Apple sauce.

[@jayyyzeee6409]

Granted, Crossroads is high-end vegan food, but it's nice to see people not hating on vegan food for a change. Things have gotten so much better and there are so many more options now in the last 5 years, people who have been on the fence should give veganism another chance.

[@username8448]

Since when has a burger and fries been 'gourmet food'

[@vidavisceral5847]

User Name . It's about the quality of the ingredients and the thoughtfulness that goes into creating the recipe. Even the process of preparing a dish. So if the burger and fries you're referring to are from a place like McDonald's, for example, then you're right, that would not be gourmet.

[@jayc.9713]

LISTEN HEAR YOU FO OL BURGERS AND FRIES ARE THE GODS OF THE EARTH SPECIFICALL Y FRIE S

[@tasdefeuilles]

PLEASE DOES SOMEONE HAVE THE RECIPE FOR THE PASTA ?

[@Yaokingtray]

if what you are putting in your mouth kills other animals, it’s not just your business. when you take another life, that’s murder. Plain and simple.

[@TheSonar129]

Ben Kansh That's called survival.

[@starryy222]

Wakiki Demore survival? Lmao it's the 21st century, look around, we have more than just raw meat as our food source.

[@matheusrudzevicius6448]

Nuru Del Rey yeah, we have cooked meat, fried chiken, all sorts of stuff

[@roannamay]

Legally it isn’t murder... so that would be a social label you’re putting on someone, which isn’t a particularly big deal, as it doesn’t affect their life in anyway. Meat eaters are still able to get a job, they face no prison sentence and they do not have to pay any fines.

[@spacedogthe1stl97]

Nuru Del Rey what're we going do with the raw meat then sheesh. We'll just cook and eat it

[@meme-rz1ie]

ohh this was so pleasant to watch!!! thank you buzzfeed

[@alexitorose2268]

Here before the buzzfeed is running out of idea comments come

[@TheSonar129]

AnkleBully Alex buzzfeed's running outta ideas

[@dariohc6898]

AnkleBully Alex Ideas are running out of buzzfeed

[@danielburriss7827]

Dude on the left trying to push his food eating credentials. Haha

[@Jumpshot-yb7uy]

The girl with the blue hair is gorgeous what is her name on Instagram ?

[@TheSonar129]

Jumpshot 2016 Optometrist. Now.

[@Jumpshot-yb7uy]

Wakiki Demore thanks bro your the real MVP appreciate it

[@TheSonar129]

Jumpshot 2016 Wait, what?

[@alexandragatto]

Interesting that they use the Impossible burger and Gardein products, not sure I'd want to pay 5-star prices for things I can purchase at the grocery store and make at home. If I'm splurging on a night at a fancy restaurant gi mme some handmade artisanal seitan chicken or whatever that beautiful egg yolk was! Great video though. :)

[@stevan6504]

Idc if you are a vegan or a meat eater.... the important thing is FOOD.... I 👏🏻 LOVE 👏🏻 FOOOODDDD 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[@Vampirech1ck]

Is this just an ad for that restaurant ? I have watched a lot of reviews for that impossible burger and people thought it was dope but no one mistakes it for real meat

[@George-wv5wk]

And is only 40 bucks per plate.

[@TheKindJourney]

Expomentary gardein is $5 at most for 4 “chicken” patties.

[@M41785929]

"my family is from Argentina and we make milanesas" YAAAS GIRL SHOUTOUT FROM DOWN HERE🙌

[@swirlyful]

bugs me when he says what goes into his mouth is his business... pretty sure it's animals' and the environment's and pretty much everyone's business since it affects us all

[@babecat2000]

Oh shut up. You can eat meat and still care about the environment.

[@swirlyful]

that is true, but it doesn't make eating meat good for the environment

[@kellemese6252]

That guy also was kind of rude stealing the girls food...it was not funny at all, just disturbing.This is how meat eaters think,act and behave.It is a great presentation

[@babecat2000]

Way to judge people

[@dianalaura3789]

Anett Barta no that’s not it he lack proper table manners which we learn from our parents and this is why I think it’s useful to know proper table manners so that when you go out to a fancy place or out in general you don’t look like him

[@Presca1]

LA has the best vegan restaurants, I'm not vegan and yet I've eaten at a lot of them while there and it's amongst the best food I've eaten while in the city. Definitely try it.

[@qwertyaj5997]

It’s nice to meat you guys. I’ll go home...

[@repita21]

[@user-ve4lx8be4o]

Was this a shane Dawson reference? Cuz if it was.....IM QUAKING!!!!!!!

[@younghoegod2438]

Stahp lmao

[@thewayitwas]

CassieCatt I think it was a bo Burnham reference.

[@lpshoneytea3671]

Snazzy Jazzy snake Dawson reference 😱

[@jayphonic9244]

I love how you post this just when I'm going vegetarian for a class (I know, It's weird)

[@radicalmooser4079]

Is that egg in the thumbnail

[@Amatersuful]

nope it's a fake egg.It could be a mango or anything

[@ramboresa]

Radical Mooser that's what I was thinking

[@weronikashysha]

0:22 ok, but QUESTION: what is this egg made of?

[@psg8009]

incoming vegans who cant acknowledge that some people prefer meat (not saying vegan is bad or anything)

[@CarlosGutierrez-fy4wk]

PinoyStyleG it's like ya you prefer but the consumption of it and the industry is just really cruel and most people will rather try ignoring it doesn't happen and animal agriculture accounts for 1/3 of environmental pollution

[@49malene]

We understand some people like meat, so did we. We're just tryna inform people, it's you're choice what u wanna do with the information

[@nat1346]

P

[@pugparty9839]

Is it okay if I eat human or dog if I prefer it?

[@roannamay]

PugParty see the only difference is there are LAWS. If law is passed prohibiting people from eating meat then I could understand the uproar, however it hasn’t so all this unnecessary comparison to eating humans, ect. you need to cease and dismiss

[@florenbloch]

can we please get the recipes, everything looks so delicious!

[@haleya6877]

Am I the only person that eats meat AND enjoys vegan food?

[@Amatersuful]

i had vegan food couples times it wasnt bad

[@evansphenomenal]

Well, you are omnivore just like me and others ;)

[@kimwilson7991]

Too bad you're still supporting cruelty

[@ohsnapitstheresa2340]

No, humans are herbivores

[@hellsingmongrel]

naw, I'm like that, too. :V

[@beccaviljoen]

What that guy on the left did at 1:54 happens like everyday in my house 😂 My dad has done it so often that my mom, brother and I all bring our plates with us when we turn to look at wherever he's pointing like its our instinct. I knew what he would do the moment I saw him tell her to look.
