U-Turns: Bean Vegan Cuisine – North Carolina
We’ve got two words to describe Bean Vegan Cuisine: Oh, yeah! You’ll enjoy their yummy reinventions of vegan twists on classic comfort food. Love mashed potatoes and meatloaf? BBQ? Classic burger varieties? Our bet is whatever you’re craving, you’ll find it at Bean Vegan Cuisine. And you’ll be glad you did!
Everything we sampled delivered deliciously and generous portions were the norm. This is exactly the kind of place you’ll want to take everyone you know who asks, “what do vegans eat?” Because Bean offers an answer you can taste with their absolutely delicious food. Specializing in vegan Southern comfort foods that are naturally cholesterol free, Bean also uses local and organic ingredients as possible. The folks at Bean describe their mission as providing meals that are “familiar to our history and our customers, and present it in a way that will excite and surprise our guests.” Every yummy mouthful proves they are making that happen.
You’re going to want to try everything on the menu – which is huge, but try to save room for their amazing desserts, too. 
Bean has two locations in North Carolina: Charlotte and Asheville. Lots of GF options for those with food sensitivities, and in Charlotte you’ll also want to make time to pick up some goodies and groceries at their extensive vegan market.
Big thanks to the folks at Bean Vegan Cuisine for cooking with compassion and helping the 7% crowd feel 100% connected.
If you’re looking for a place to join family & friends for 
you’ll be grateful for a visit to Bean Vegan Cuisine. The discovery sure made our travels happier, and we think they’ve made the world a nicer place, too. One taste of their delicious food and maybe your non-veg friends and family may make a veg life U-Turn, too.
About U-Turns
Though one recent poll suggests there are more than 7 million vegetarians/vegans in the U.S., it’s easy to feel isolated when you’re part of (roughly) 7% of the population. One recent report revealed that “a large majority of former vegetarians/vegans (63%) said that they disliked that their diet made them stick out from the crowd.” That inspired CLAWtheory to give a big thanks to some of the awesome people and places we’ve discovered on the road who are making veg life better, and U-Turns was born.
While we have enjoyed veg meals at many veg-friendly establishments, the U-Turns list is restricted to vegetarian and vegan restaurants. While we appreciate veg-friendly menus, food that’s made by and for veg folks is usually off the happy charts. This list is not intended as a complete guide or as a review – we haven’t been everywhere (and probably won’t get everywhere). We simply want to offer a deeply heartfelt thank you to the places and folks we’ve found and are excited to share.
