Known for its laid-back vibe and Southern comfort food, this eatery is co-owned by The Walking Dead’s executive producer Greg Nicotero and actor Norman Reedus. The duo operates four locations of Nic & Norman’s in Senoia, GA; Chattanooga, TN; and Lexington and Louisville, KY.

Vegan highlight: The menu here is heavy on beef, dairy, and seafood. However, a plant-based Impossible Patty is not only on the menu but is featured in a burger build called “Norman’s Pick” which is topped with a fried egg (that can be omitted) alongside beets, avocado, spinach, and soy ginger sauce. The burger can also be ordered on a lettuce wrap for some extra plants on your plate.

7S&P Lunch by Nicholas Braun

This New York City deli boasts a comfortable vibe, offering sandwiches, soups, and salads that focus on simple ingredients. Actor Nicholas Braun from Succession invested in the newest iteration of this 100-year-old business.

Vegan highlight: Amid all the pastrami-loaded sandwiches, egg salads, and turkey clubs, the small print of the long menu points out that you can swap a veggie patty into all of the burgers to make a meat-free meal but you’ll have to navigate around all the dairy. VegNews has reached out to S&P to inquire if its veggie patty is vegan.

Inspired by country star Blake Shelton’s Southern roots, Ole Red is a multi-unit chain that features food, live music, and drinks. Locations include Las Vegas, NV; Orlando, FL; Tishomingo, OK; and Gatlinburg and Nashville, TN (with an outpost at the Nashville International Airport).

Vegan highlight: The good news about Ole Red is the vegan options are clearly labeled. The bad news is that they are limited to vinegar slaw. However, Beyond Meat can be subbed into many items, including burgers and taco salads, greatly opening up the plant-based choices.

Francis Ford Coppola is as much celebrated for directing and producing great films such as The Godfather as he is for his work in the wine industry. Rustic is an eatery that sits on the Francis Ford Coppola Winery property in Geyserville, CA, and serves Italian-inspired fare that changes seasonally.

Vegan highlight: While guests have been accommodated with plant-based fare in the past, Rustic’s current winter menu is low on vegan options. However, its sister eatery, Pool Café is a bit better at serving veggie crudité with hummus, fresh fruit, and meatless options such as the Pool Café Impossible Burger (which comes with dairy components) and Vegetarian Piadina. The wines at Francis Ford Coppola Winery are also typically not vegan as they use animal-derived fining agents such as gelatin, albumin, and casein.
