    That sucks about Birdie's. They made amazing vegetarian "chicken" tacos. It's hard to get fake meat done well, but Birdie's did it and I'll miss them!

    Yeah, this is a shame, ak. They seemed like really cool people. I'm not sure if people going to Momofuku would also be the audience for the low-key, folksy ways of Birdies.

    David Chang of Momofuku also hates vegetarians. He's seriously hostile toward vegetarians, an attitude I find quite juvenile and assy.
