PlantPub Opens 2nd Location in Boston

Have you heard about Plantpub?  Plantpub is redefining the pub experience in America and offers a 100% plant based menu featuring classic American favorites and local New England ales and craftbeers.  This is a major accomplishment in the vegan and plant based restaurant scene.  Plantpub opened in the Fall of 2021 and they’re now opening a new 8,000 sq ft location this spring which will be situated across the street from Boston’s Fenway Park.  


It’s hard to believe that classic comfort and sports bar favorites can be 100% plant based but Plantpub is making this happen.  The menu features items such as 

Loaded Nachos





Pulled Pork Sandwich






Buffalo Wings






Chicken Caesar Salad





Fried Chicken Sandwich






                      An Array of pizzas (Wild Mushroom Truffle & Margherita)







The menu offers gluten free, soy free and nut free versions which great for people with nut allergies ; ) and sensitivity to gluten.  Guys, you don’t know how excited I am to hear about Plantpub! Look at how amazing this vegan food looks.  You know sometimes vegetarians and vegans get a bad wrap from out meat eater friends.  People often turn up their noses and say comments like “ewww… vegan? I want real meat and real cheese.” Or “I could never give up eating meat!”  Plantpub is proof that plant based or vegan food can be as delicious as the non-vegan versions.


Plantpub was founded by celebrity Chef, Mary Dumont & craft beer entrepreneur, Pat McAuley who went plant based for personal health and also for the planet.  Their mission is to make plant based food “fun for  all.”’  They clearly are accomplishing just that with the opening of their 2nd location.  That was a brilliant idea to open across from famed stadium, Fenway Park. The new space will be able to seat up to 300 people. 

It’s been a while since I visited Boston but I can promise that I’ll be touching down again very soon (yes, just to visit Plantpub) hahahha!!  I can only wish that Plantpub founders (later on down the line) think about opening a location in Times Square. As a Yelp Elite member, I will make a review for the Boston location. I know it will be good! Cheers to you Plant Pub!!!!


The newest Plantpub location can be accessed at:


61 Brookline Ave
Boston, MA 02215

The other location is in Cambridge, MA

675 W Kendall St
Cambridge, MA 02142

Ostriches are being hung upside down, electrocuted with their necks slit.”   PETA is petitioning Louis Vuitton to stop abusing animals and using their bodily materials for the purpose of fashion creation.  During the protest, Pharrell made a pause during his speech and outright...

There's a green company in town that is creating something out of nothing.  That something is delightfully rich butter.  This butter is vegan and made from thin air.  Yes--you heard that right.  The butter is made from air; utilizing real fat and without any impact to the environment.  Savor is the company behind this new and revolutionary fat making process.  To make the butter or fat, a carbon source is heated with hydrogen and is later mixed with oxygen from the air.

Nikocado Avocado Woke up 250lbs Lighter! Vegan Again?!

Image
The Mukbang king, Nikocado Avocado, broke his 7 month silence after uploading a video to his channel last night.   He first appeared in the video wearing a big Panda head mask.  Beyond that gigantic panda mask, there was something noticeably different about Nick!   There was a super thin body under the mask!  Could this be a clone of Nikocado?  Is this really the same person who would down several cheeseburgers, nuggets, stuffed tacos and huge plates of noodles in one sitting?  Nikocado is the self proclaimed mukbang king of the internet and with that title came loads of weight gain. It was a real shock to see him slimmer than what he used to be as a vegan.  At the beginning of the video, he stated how he was "two steps ahead."  He went on to say that he had been a part of one of the greatest social experiments of his entire life and likened himself to being a villain of a story where he was able to have significant influence over his fo...
