A BURGER restaurant has caused uproar by mocking a vegan customer on Facebook and comparing her beliefs to Nazism.
Mark Clews, co-owner of Tuk Tuk in the NSW Hunter Valley, said he had warned the woman her food could contain traces of meat, and she had eaten it anyway.
.....
Others called the post “disgraceful” and as angry messages poured in, one user wrote on the page: “Do not mess with the Vegans ... EVER!!!”
Mr Clews responded: “But they are so easy to mess with. They lack physical strength because of zero red meat in their diet! They are single-minded and Nazi-like in there conviction ... The worst thing, from a chef’s point of view is they cannot cook a vegetable to save their life.”
.....
Mr Clews told news.com.au he had been bombarded with abuse throughout the night since the incident yesterday.
He said he had received death threats and abusive phone calls to his mobile phone number, which was published on the campaigners’ Facebook page.
.....
He said the restaurant offered vegetarian and pescetarian options, as well as a bunless burger for gluten-intolerant customers.
But he said that when the customer had questioned the menu, he had told her the falafel burger could have meat traces from the hot plate, which is simply scraped down between burgers.
.....
He said she and her friend were “aggressive” in their behaviour, and he felt they “wanted to make trouble”.
“One in 200,000 people who dine here might be vegan. We’re a very small restaurant and we don’t have the facilities to clean off the hot plate with caustic soda and add oil again every time.
“This is our restaurant. It’s basically a temple of meat. We cater for who we cater for. Why should we be dictated to?”

Vegans are silly!
Humans are supposed to eat MEAT!
(and fruits/veggies)
The worst thing, from a chef’s point of view is they cannot cook a vegetable to save their life.
That's gonna sting. LOL!
“This is our restaurant. It’s basically a temple of meat. We cater for who we cater for. Why should we be dictated to?”
Temple of Meat would be a great name for a rock band.
Why would a vegan go to a burger joint?
I like the guy...
He warned her the faux burger might contain traces of meat, but she tucked in anyway. She ate it. She ate the meaty-flavored veggie burger with gusto.
First there was Alferd Packer. Then Abe Frohman, and then Hannibal Lector. This is the real life story behind the vegan horror classic: “The Silence of the Yams.”
Vegans, are usually part of the perpetually offended groups.
Thier lives are not complete until they spread their misery to others. As was said upthread it is best to mock them
As far as not getting any protein, you can get that from dozens of different plants - I crave donuts, hamburgers, pizza, spaghetti, cherry pie, candy, cookies all kinds stuff but there are wonderful substitutes for eggs and butter.
Waitress: No substitutions
Bob: What do you mean? You don’t have any tomatoes?
Waitress: Only what’s on the menu. You can have a #2, plain omelet, comes with cottage fries and rolls.
Bobby: I know what it comes with but it’s not what I want.
Waitress: I’ll come back when you make up your mind.
Bobby: Wait a minute, I have made up my mind. I’d like a plain omelet, no potatoes on the plate, a cuppa coffee and a side order of wheat toast.
Waitress: I’m sorry, we don’t have any side orders of toast. It’s a muffin or a coffee roll.
Bobby: What do you mean you don’t make side orders of toast. You make sandwiches don’t you?
Waitress: Would you like to talk to the manager?
Bobby: You’ve got bread and a toaster of some kind?
Waitress: I don’t make the rules.
Bobby: Okay, I’ll make it as easy for you as I can. I’d like an omelet plain and a chicken salad sandwich on wheat toast, no mayonnaise, no butter, no lettuce. And a cup of coffee.
Waitress : A #2, chicken sal sand. Hold the butter, the lettuce, the mayonnaise, and a cup of coffee. Anything else?
Bobby: Yeah, now all you have to do is hold the chicken, bring me the toast, give me a check for the chicken salad sandwich, and you haven’t broken any rules.
Waitress: You want me to hold the chicken, huh?
Bobby: I want you to hold it between your knees.
Nazi- like? Well that would follow since one of the biggest butchers of all time, Hitler was vegan.

They are for the most part arrogant ash’/3$ with a sense of superiority beyond compare and on that I agree with the other posters here. Being vegan though is secondary to being anti human (equals animal activism)
I thought Hitler was a vegetarian. I find it difficult to believe he was vegan due to the enormous amount of animals killed in WW-2
Hitler was an animal rights activist, too.
I'm getting sick and tired of a small group of people who get over-zealous in their demands for what they want in their food. No wonder why many restaurant owners are starting to fight back against these annoying patrons.
^^And a true anti-tobacco Nazi....
Did you know you can buy pre-cooked bacon in cans from prepper food supply stores?
And, as hard as this may be to believe, long-term storage ice cream sandwiches.
Apocalypse? Zombie uprising? Robots Gone Wild?
No big deal if you’re eating bacon ice cream sandwiches.
Ditto. I have not eaten meat or chicken since 1991. Clean arteries and outliving my dad and his dad are the benefits. I do not miss it at all.
