Bad News re: Happy Bamboo and some vegan items...

[Guest guest]

Well, it is with much sadness that I have to tell everyone that some

of the items that were once vegan at Happy Bamboo are no longer...

 

The costs went up over 40% for some of the vegan items, so the owner

had to go to another supplier. She found out they don't have a vegan

equivalent for the " drumsticks, " the Happy Burger, the " tuna " and the

" beef " dish (though she says the " beef " in the taquitos is vegan).

 

She is working on trying to find other vegan substitutes, but for now

she has to tell her customers that they are not vegan...
