Any doubts about the strength of the Valley’s vegan scene were dispelled with the announcement of the first-ever Phoenix Vegan Restaurant Week. Less than two weeks after registration opened, more than 25 restaurants have registered – and more are being added every week. Phoenix Vegan Restaurant Week, scheduled for September 12-18, is organized by Jozh Watson, Phoenix Vegan operator and chef Jason Wyrick from Casa Terra in Glendale and the delivery service The Vegan Taste. Confirmed attendees include Early Bird Vegan, Dilla Libre, AZ Tacos Veganos, Pachamama, Major Tom’s, Tesoro Vegano, The Nile Coffee Shop, Shameless Burger, Verdura, The Giving Tree Café, Earth Plant-Based Cuisine, and Salvadoreño. The offer is not limited to traditional restaurants; This also includes bakers and food trucks like Wok This Way. There’s no limit to the number of food companies that can participate, Watson says, and they are also working to attract sponsors. Wyrick says Casa Terra will not reopen in time to attend as the gourmet vegan restaurant has been closed since the beginning of COVID. However, he will serve dishes from The Vegan Taste at a host location yet to be determined. “This is an opportunity for the vegan curious to really dive in and have something great at a pretty reasonable price,” says Wyrick. “There are so many people out there who are curious about vegan food, but there is still the fear of ‘Is it worth it? Is it getting strange? Will it suck? ‘ And there will be so many options for people. ”EXPAND A dish by Chef Jason Wyrick, co-organizer of Phoenix Vegan Restaurant Week.
