Vegan eating (and drinking) has become a frenzy in major cities like LA so it's no surprise that besides the many restaurants carrying vegan items, there's an entire festival dedicated to the diet and lifestyle.

The Vegan Beer & Food Festival is coming to the Rose Bowl on June 18. Attendees can get unlimited tastes of more than 100 beers from "regional craft breweries," according to the event website. Also available for tasting: craft sodas, kombucha and cold brew.

To accompany all that booze, you can also take bites from vegan food trucks, carts and restaurants. Specific vendors are still a secret but a mouth-watering photo of a multi-layer burger was recently posted on the official Facebook page with the tag 'doomies' This could definitely be a reference to Doomie's Home Cookin' — a Hollywood-based restaurant that gives American classics a vegan twist. That means lots of generously sizes burgers.

We'll be keeping an eye out for any taco-related trucks and restaurants. Maybe Guisados, Plant Food for the People or Gracias Madre will make an appearance.

LA tickets for the event are available here.

Why Are So Many Restaurants Using A.I. for Menus Now?

I already miss the era of gloriously sticky menus, coated with years of grease and who knows what else, and a menu behind the counter with pixelated photos, overexposed plates, low-quality clipart, and typos galore.
