In February, Alabama-based The Veggie, a Black woman-owned vegan catering and meal delivery company, is launching its first brick-and-mortar café. Founded in 2017 by Chef Adyre Mason, The Veggie specializes in prepared vegan comfort foods such as seafood pasta (fettuccine cooked with sweet red peppers, white garlic cream sauce, and topped with chives and soy-based shrimp and lobster); White Chikn Chili (roasted and shredded hearts of palm, navy beans, onion, and green chili broth topped with coconut cream and served with a side of cornbread); and Spinach and Root Enchiladas (enchiladas baked in green chili cream sauce stuffed with roasted golden beets, spinach, and shiitake mushrooms).
