i *do* feel like you have to announce any kind of animal fat, though, because i’d fucking kill you if i found out i just ate beef fat for vegetarian reasons. naming your place that, though, is a whole other thing.

oh totally, and it’s such a more expensive way of cooking that you’d assume people would want to advertise it in some way (which i think was probably the misguided idea here), just not in the name of a place that serves almost exclusively fried chicken

okay, i feel like most vegetarians probably have at least a vague idea what that word means because you have to avoid it.

haha maybe my generally vegan-friendly la experience speaking here but i feel like it’s not a broadly known term. or wasn’t. maybe it is now! who says the government is out of the public education business
