The restaurant industry is still dominated by men. But in the vegan dining scene, women are making game-changing, mouthwatering food that has to be eaten to be believed.

The restaurant scene in the US is still overwhelmingly led by men. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, less than a quarter of chefs and head cooks are women in the US, while they make up nearly 70 percent of servers. There is a long way to go before professional kitchens are equal, but this gender imbalance is slowly changing. And if you’re looking for evidence of that, the vegan restaurant industry is a good place to focus your attention. Across the US, women are leading game-changing vegan restaurants and food businesses.
