In total, TABC agents visited 1,144 alcohol retailers throughout August and September, finding just 81 violations, or a 93% compliance rate. While TABC enforcement agents conduct UCOs on a weekly basis, the back-to-school operations represent a statewide effort to inspect alcohol retailers located near major colleges or universities. The inspections, called “underage compliance operations” (UCOs) by TABC, are part of the agency’s regular efforts to ensure retailers are aware of Texas’ laws against selling alcohol to customers younger than 21.

He then emerged again with a vegan popup series, won a local San Francisco Iron Chef, opened Citizen Fox, and the baby restaurant kit fox as executive chef before moving to Chicago.Ĭreating the Fancy Plants brand, he started throwing dinner parties out of his house, simply because there was no such thing as 'upscale vegan dining' in Chicago.

In San Francisco, he started his cooking career at Millennium Restaurant, and then helped their sommelier open Yield and Pause Wine Bars as the chef. Kevin has been a pioneer of plant-based cooking in both San Francisco and Chicago. In the mean time, we are on a mission to give Chicago real food experiences that both satisfy, stimulate, and educate. We love and appreciate all efforts to create a more vegan world, AND we also value pure ingredients, and a diverse food culture. I'm not about to turn into Ronald McDonald, dancing on tik tok to sell nachos. We believe we can compete with both non-vegan restaurants, as well as the vegan trend that uses intense social media marketing to sell corporate fast food. There is a team of people who hope to re-open Fancy Plants Kitchen with new management and investment. Where both of the other 'pioneering' businesses were smaller, and I could work harder to make ends meet while Chicago warmed to the idea, a big restaurant requires more support. I was hoping people would value what Fancy Plants Kitchen offered, and would become early adopters, helping a new business to grow into sustainability. It took a few years for Fancy Plants Cafe to catch on as well, as the idea of a 'vegan coffee shop' was still suspect. It took time to develop an audience for 'upscale vegan dining' in Chicago when I moved here. Unfortunately, the restaurant as such had to close, as we ran out of money before our 2 year mark.
