I didn’t name it. I’m more than a bit stunned by it.
Discuss.
Website autoplays commercial with annoying jaunty music. That’s more objectionable than the name.
Approximately what is it, and why do I want to click the link?
Please accept my apologies. I should know better.
It is a new restaurant in the Atlanta area. This is indeed its legal name. All over media, advertising, etc. Nothing hidden or insinuated here, hence my O.P.
Considering how incredibly offensive many women find, say, Halloween costumes entitled, " Slutty *** ", I’m a bit stunned a this.
ETA: A link to a Forbes article on it.
So apparently it’s a highly successful Black-owned vegan restaurant with a hip hop or rap vibe.
I don’t claim to understand anything about rap music, but it’s the same kind of terminology as “ho’s”, “niggas”, “bitches”, etc.
The name aside, the restaurant serves a vegan burger with vegan bacon and vegan cheese. If you want to eat a burger, eat a burger. And if you want to eat vegan food, eat something that’s not pretending to be something it’s not.
Why? What if you’re a vegan but you miss the taste of a baconburger? What if you’re a meat eater but you want to try out plant-based eating? Do you have a problem with Field Roast sausages and nut-based “cheeses”? Tofurkey?
Thanks.
Because usually the plant-based fake foods never taste quite as good and a great deal of food chemistry and processing is necessary to make them pretend to be something else. You’re better off eating something that hasn’t been processed to death.
As a vegetarian for decades, I rarely eat meat substitutes like vegan burgers, sausages, mince, etc., but I certainly have no objection to them.
I think they can be very useful as transition products for people who want to eat less meat. If they want products that look or taste something like meat, but are vegan, that’s fine. Let them eat vegan food in a form they’re comfortable with.
What I do object to is telling other people what they should or shouldn’t eat in a preachy, ideological way.
And you don’t eat any food that’s highly processed?

Their marketing agency is welcome to contact me at any time.
I would tend to think of it as one of two things:
- Slutty being like “sinful” when used for chocolate, meaning the items there, while vegan, are decadent and not so much health food.
- A vegan equivalent to Hooters or other breasteraunts.
It seems to me that the owner wanted to give their establishment a provocative name to attract attention, and apparently their plan was a smashing success.

I’d like to see more food that looks like vegetables but is actually made of meat.
There’s a donut shop in Toronto called Glory Hole. Personally, I find that name more tasteless than Slutty Vegan, but YMMV.
Dewey_Finn: Nailed it.
Good thinking!
Looks like vegetables but actually made of chocolate would be a big hit too.
Why did they choose a provocative name? Well, there you go!
