Celebrate Vegan Chef Challenge Success at Lulu EthioVegan

Join Compassionate Action for Animals for a fun evening at Lulu EthioVegan to try their Chili Fries — with award-winning Ethiopian-spiced chili and non-dairy cheese and sour cream. It was so popular during the Twin Cities Vegan Chef Challenge that they kept it on the menu permanently! What to expect: This is a casual, social evening centered around good vegan food and community. Why dine out with us? When we gather at restaurants offering vegan options, we’re showing them there’s a customer base for good, plant-based food. Plus, it’s a great way to discover restaurants committed to offering compassionate choices. About the Twin Cities Vegan Chef Challenge: Each August, restaurants across the Twin Cities create new vegan dishes for this month-long competition.
