Thank you for trying the vegan place. I’m plant based and it’s nice to have places where I can with friends that eat meat and know there is plenty they will like.
I love your honesty as well as the support you show to these restaurants using your platform. I see other people doing what you do, but imo, you're the 🐐
Props to you for supporting a local business. I'm happy to see you reviewing vegan food because I'm a partial vegan. Don't judge me 🤣. I'm not a fan on Beyond Meat or other meat substitutes not derived from plants, but they have a lot of choices on the menu.
Mike seems very chill and friendly, like someone who gives good hugs and greets you everyday I hope everything goes well for him and I respect him for all the hard work he puts into his food
Ok..after watching like 30 videos from this guy, I'm a fan. It's refreshing that he's so honest knowing owners will see it. He speaks for the honest customer and I've yet to see a 10/10 but im still trying to finish all the videos.
Same here! Stumbled onto his vids today and he's good people it seems... crazy funny. I'm going to SC in a few weeks so I'm taking notes. Saw a 10/10 on the Crumbl Cookie 😊 but I'm bouncing around.
You said from the rip that faux burger you were not feeling but Salute to you for giving it the benefit of doubt and showing love to the establishment that was Solid good brother
I was hoping to see like a mushroom burger, or a bean burger house patty maybe some jackfruit veggie stews etc...but it still looked good🤷🏾♂️ Chime go to The Green Owl Cafe in Madison, WI and they have incredible vegan food and desserts, you would love it, even as a non vegan!
FINALLY!! Somebody agrees that Beyond meat is nasty! It smells like cat food and is just not edible, to ME (to each man, their own). Impossible… I can do that all day. To be fair, you can tell that impossible is not real meat. But it doesn’t have that pungent smell and taste. Love this honest review! Can’t wait to give it a try❤
Always appreciate your brutal honesty. Alot of us dont have the funds to spand $100s of dollars to review food and share their thoughts on their experience.
I laughed the entire time. Vegan food is definitely an acquired taste. I'm not vegan and I like some things and some things I do not. It definitely depends on how ita prepared and what flavors are mixed together. But you tickled me throughout this review. I hope everyone goes and flood that place like they did the lady restaurant I think it was in texas that had the 3 hour wait. We need more vegan restaurants in our community
As a former vegan I know what you mean about the beyond meat I hated their ground meat but their brats were incredible idk why it was such a difference🤷🏽♀️
Yep I agree I was vegan for 4 years and beyond burgers never did it for me. I’ll tell y’all rn tho if you mix a pack of beyond sausage with a pack of impossible meat and make meatballs out of them.. guaranteed some of the best tasting meatballs you’ll ever have.. 🤌
@rowdyjr2318 ngl idk how I lasted 4 years.. my first day back I doordashed a 32 oz medium rare ribeye and it was like I snapped back to reality after that 😂😂
Just curious... What made the FORMER vegans go back to meat? *Did you feel real good / were you healthier while vegan? * How do you HONESTLY feel now now that you're back to eating flesh? What are some of the physical differences you've experienced?
Mr Chimetime, you keep it 💯 👌 when you try these new and different restaurants and give your honest opinion on them. Some restaurants and small businesses may not agree with your opinion and some may do and get their act together, but you tell it like it is and you do not sugar coat shit. Stay true 👍🏾
I noticed that too. Every sandwich and dog was SMOTHERED in "mayo", "cheese" or special sauce. And if it's really vegan that sh!t can't be real "mayo", "cheese" or "cream cheese". Which means it would ALL have to be vegetable oil based. That in turn would mean absolutely oily, sh!t yo pants diarrhea in the next few hours. That'll be a HARD pass for me.
Salute...a very interesting review! Your honest opinion was terrific! Especially considering you are not vegan...we must remember that your taste buds are not accustomed to vegan food! Based on your review...I learned alot. I would be willing to try vegan. Mike's restaurant has a great selection...salute to him as well!
Yessss Mike's Vegan Grill is my fav Vegan spot.. FYI ppl please stop expecting vegan food to taste like meat it should taste like plants what its made out of..
Love your show. Was this better than Pure Soul in Durham? You did a review on them as well. And gave them a better score. I believe it was before the review of this restaurant
I like your reviews because you seem to keep it real regardless… Ive been vegan for 12 years and most vegan fast food is hit or miss especially the things that attempt to mimic beef. Beyond definitely tastes like fake meat.
i was vegan at one time and point for health reasons. while i was doing it, i couldnt get anyone to help me with a food list, or how to get those foods. i had no clue what i was doing, and did my best. i got extremely sick, because i was missing vitamins that were vital to my survival.
At the beginning of the video, you was saying how nice the guy was, and I was saying to myself that I don't trust people who are overly nice and that smile all the time. Then when you said how much you spent and I seen all that extra mayo, I said yep I was right 😂😂
Bro was probably elated to see him come in, as he knew the exposure would generate him more revenue. Doesn’t make him untrustworthy because he wants his business to succeed
Wow, I cannot wait to visit Mike's.....I will order everything on the menu. Food look real good and tasty. I am a vegan so, would love Mike's Vegan Food. Thanks Mr. Chimes for the review.
Mr.Chime you are the greatest. I would like to know what do you fo eith the leftover food? Keep up the phenomenal work Have a bless day 🙏Today is Monday July 24, 2023 at 5:45pm
Its been a while since I commented on one of your Videos. Everything looked Really Good, It makes me want to eat Veegan Food a little more. You give Your Honest Opinion, I feel at Times could be a bit Harsh but it's your job Reviewing Food is what you do. I commend Him for what He said at the beginning of the Video, Hard work you can turn nothing into something. I would definitely Try His Food if I was in that Area.
I’m not vegan either, but I can’t have dairy plus there are some foods I’m supposed to limit. So, I vegan dishes are the safest if I want a classic recreated, but it will never taste like what I know. The bbq you ate is probably jackfruit, and I can say it’s usually spot on taste and texture wise. 😋😋
Mr. Chimetime by you ordering everything on the menu you’ve made me extremely hungry once again but by me being from Philly we don’t call our cheesesteaks a Philly cheesesteak just saying. Keep up the great work.
Use to be a really good vegan spot a few years back here in Philly called Giannas around like 6th and south had amazing vegan cheese steaks and vegan cake I used to pick some up for me and my wife at least twice a month
Mr.ChimeTime, everyone, gather around...Y'all might not know this & I'm not telling you this to hurt any of you, but the most popular brands of bacon bits are actually not made of pork at all. In fact, those "meaty" bits are made mostly of soy and include no animal products in their recipes at all.
What do you do with all of that extra food? I'm vegan of 32 years, and I live in the one largest vegan community's. I think you reviewed our restaurant in ATL, " Soul Vegetarian."
If you haven’t tried it you need to it’s good. I had given up beef and pork for a year and someone turned me on to it🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 However I brought me a new grill so I went back to eating meat😂 I still grab Mikes Vegan Food Truck from time to time.
Mr. Chime is the the only food reviewer that i believe 100%. If he says its good, its good.

@adinaapril1631 yeah, and it promotes swapping one kind of junk for another, the place I suggested makes food more TRULY vegan, made from vegetables
They should add pineapples to it and call them, “Chime Time Fries”.
Damn show should

Definitely gotta agree with you on Beyond vs. Impossible. Impossible taste better but Beyond is soyless. Just gotta pick a preference.
Nice! It's great to see different vegan options for my very part time vegetarian lifestyle. 😅
Notice how everything has 5 times the "mayo", fat, salt and sugar of normal food, because you somehow need to make it taste like something. :D
I noticed that too. Every sandwich and dog was SMOTHERED in "mayo", "cheese" or special sauce. And if it's really vegan that sh!t can't be real "mayo", "cheese" or "cream cheese". Which means it would ALL have to be vegetable oil based. That in turn would mean absolutely oily, sh!t yo pants diarrhea in the next few hours.
