In addition, greater you spend upfront, the less you will ought to finance, that's especially helpful if one does not get a low interest rate super real the spending path charted under waihee is clearly unsustainable- both fiscally and economically.

If you are in a not good position and have got no cash to get out from that point, you will need to receive the business loans. Because it would aid you definitely. I get consolidation loans every single year and feel good because of it.

Weird Fish is back! Old favorites back on the menu. Check out the menu:

I agree that there is difficulty in finding locally grown soybeans as well as local production of tofu and tempeh (fermented soybeans). However, if I remember correctly, the menu only contained at most two dishes that relied on the soybean as its principle ingredient, neither of which seem to be missed much by the vegan community seemingly in outrage over the menu change. The focus of many arguments seems to be the loss of the seitan dishes, which uses vital wheat gluten and not soy. Wheat and flour dough are locally produced commodities needed for the production of vital wheat gluten and are by no means labor-intensive or costly.

This restaurant was not just a place with vegan options, it was a spot that I frequented specifically because I thought they had excellent vegan food. I hope the owner understands that now that the dissolution of our favorite vegan options has taken place, I and most likely much of the vegan community that frequented Weird Fish will no longer be customers. Personally, it’s not out of spite, I just can’t eat anything there anymore.

We may comprise only a minuscule percentage of the population but I think it will have an effect on the restaurant.

Hi. I know the owner of Weird Fish (friend of a friend) so thought I might post a humble comment. They are doing just fine financially, and they did not take seitan, tempe, ect. off the menu because they were poor money-makers. They are attempting to be more local, in that the owner of the restaurant recently moved to a farm (owned by his girlfriend, on the site of her winery) and he wants to begin to rely more on items from the farm. Obviously he is not growing wild fish there, nor is he making tempe for now. So the change in menu was not a financial decision, but indeed a transition towards a new approach to feeding costumers. (Tempe is also very labor-intensive). It is a step in a process. This mentality created the lack of to-go containers as well – sure its a pain in the ass, but many people will order less food because of this, which may be a good thing. Again, he is trying something new and has reasons for doing so. I’m not stoked, but so be it.

I do not eat fish, meat, or dairy, so am personally unhappy about the new menu. Again, so be it. People have many reasons for dietary choices such as mine – some are health related, some stem from religious beliefs and other soteriological inclinations, and some are a result of political and ecological considerations. I tend to think that judging others for how they live is both unhealthy and, ultimately, not constructive, in that no one’s mind is going to be changed by talking shit. While I personally see little point in complaining, I do not see how a complaint necessarily reflects poorly on a persons life-style choices. The connection between a dietary choice and the impetus to voice discontent is tentative at best, so it seems counterintuitive to press a vegan’s “veganess” because they voiced an opinion. Please consider this.

Lastly, I will say that we all make choices about our lives – whether to drive or to walk or to sit still, to eat beef or soy or dog, to speak kindly or hatefully or with a little humorous sarcasm. There are no neutral life-styles, so to consider a certain choice somehow sub-normal (ie, “autistic”) begs the question, is eating beef in modern America somehow more normal? Are any life-styles more normal? Just some food (vegetarian, of course) for thought.

Also, I like the Trey Dino. Thanks for that.

I’m not vegan, but I agree with Vegansaurus that it sucks they took away the fried seitan. I definitely was under the impression that it was specifically catering to vegans, too. I might not address it the same way as Vegansaurus, but I see the point. There have been a lot of changes lately and I’ve been less impressed with the food and portions (I miss the buffalo girls!)

I feel like they went through this last year, where the portions and flavor were kind of meh so I stopped going for a while. Within the last 6-8 months it was really good and I made it a regular date spot for me and the mr. But they’ve definitely gotten rid good items and replaced them with a new and more high-brow menu that just doesn’t taste as good and kind of alienates their customers (like someone said above).

And now looking at their website it looks like breakfast and brunch are gone too. Much sadness, they really are very good and have a great price point, or at least they did. Must be struggling if they’re only open 5-11 Mon-sat.

I was sad when they closed down the vast majority of their brunch menu and took away the fish options as well as the plantains and beans. I get they may have to simplify for various meals, but the rest of the breakfast/brunch offerings aren’t things I like when their menu has so many other delicious options. It’s also got great prices and locals. Last time I was there they seemed open to feedback about changing the breakfast/brunch menu so keep sending [constructive]] feedback to them and they’ll get the message.

Actually, you are an idiot– it’s called ‘WEIRD Fish’ meaning, things other than fish impersonating fish. (They also serve fish, though, FWIW).
