Green Will Turn You Into a Vegan (For a Day)
Green
Is vegan food for everybody? It’s hard to say—some people really seek it out, and others tend to not want to touch it. If you’re in column A and have a friend in column B, you should try taking them to Green for lunch one day. Start them with a noodle dish, or a Big Wac, and see what they say. Sure, they might not swear off beef, but unless they’ve pre-decided to hate it, they’ll probably like it more than they’ll want to admit.
Details
Green is a lunch and dinner spot with two locations: one in N. Tempe (or S. Scottsdale, depending how you like to draw the line), and one in Phoenix, kind of near the Art Museum. Dress casual—maybe on the yoga pants side of things (I feel like I’m stereotyping here… sorry).

Tucson Foodie: 15+ of the Best Restaurants in Phoenix
If you’re craving a Big Mac but don’t want that beef bomb in your stomach, swing by Green and get the vegan Big Wac. If you’ve had Slutty Vegan and thought it tasted like a Big Mac, well… this tastes way better and you can actually eat there and enjoy yourself without screaming your order and wearing earplugs. Sorry… I was pretty disappointed in Slutty Vegan. Go Green!

Green New American Vegetarian is a vegan community mainstay with a 15-year history that predates mainstream vegetarianism in Arizona.
