Here's something from a review of Mong Thu's Cafe in the Tenderloin--the vegan paragraph!

Larrimore had a hand in more than just the branding; he’s also responsible for the two plant-based items on Mộng Thu’s menu. Larrimore has kept a vegan diet since he was a 12-year-old straightedge punk in Philly, and Kim has been cooking him special meals since he and Meng started dating 13 years ago. In the Vietnamese Buddhist tradition, adherents follow a vegan diet on specific days in the lunar calendar, and Kim has always been happy to substitute tofu when cooking for Larrimore. According to Meng, Kim even likes to brag to her friends about Larrimore’s rigor in avoiding animal products, alcohol and cigarettes.
