Help Chef B Keep Seasoned Vegan Alive

Help Save Seasoned Vegan – A Harlem Legacy Lives On!

Seasoned Vegan isn’t just a restaurant.

It’s a movement. A mission. A mother-and-son dream that brought full service plant-based soul food to Harlem when no one else had.

In 2014, we opened our doors as the first full-service vegan restaurant in Harlem’s history. Since then, we’ve served thousands of people, changed lives through food, and built a family with our community.

Now, we need your help.

Why We’re Raising $100,000

Last year, we re-opened as Seasoned Vegan Real Quick, a fast-casual concept in the East Village, NYC. We've been operating with love, grit, and a tiny team, working to keep the dream alive after being forced out of our Harlem location.

But the truth is: running a small, independent, family-owned restaurant in NYC is incredibly hard—especially one that prioritizes health, sustainability, accessibility, and organic ingredients over profit margins.

We’re raising $100,000 to:

- Pay off back bills and stabilize our operations

- Support staff wages and hire additional help

- Launch new community programming and events

- Build a stronger foundation for long-term sustainability

This isn't about a bailout. It’s about investment in a vision that’s already proven itself—just in need of support to survive and grow.

If Seasoned Vegan Has Touched Your Life…

Whether you’ve:

- Tried our food and couldn’t believe it was vegan,

- Felt seen and nourished in a space created by and for the culture,

- Or just believe in what we do—

Now is the time to show it.

If every follower gives $2 we will reach our goal. Every dollar counts. So does sharing this campaign with your network.

Let’s keep this beautiful thing going—together.

With love and gratitude,

Chef B & Aaron
