From June 12 to 14, Veggiemania will be held, an event created to promote the consumption of vegetarian and vegan dishes, which brings together more than forty locals who will make a special dish that will be sold as a combo with a drink for $690. Nash Wigutov, @unpocodenash, chef and reference in the veggie world, was the one who curated the participating places considering the ones she usually chooses when looking for vegetarian and vegan food.
