OPINION: Your canine crusader was amused to read recently about how a celebrity chef at a Perth restaurant has banned vegans from his establishment.
John Mountain, head chef and owner at Fyre Restaurant in the city's northern suburbs, said that all vegans "are now banned" from his restaurant.
Apparently, the 'beef' with non-meat eaters began when an unnamed vegan customer was served an expensive "bowl of vegetables" after she requested a vegan meal.
She also complained that the lack of plant-based meals showcased the chef's shortcomings.
However, Mountain was having none of the herbivore's hypocrisy, posting on social media, "you and all your vegan mates can all go and enjoy your dishes in another venue. You are now banned".
"F**k vegans," he added angrily. "They can f**k off."
