America’s first Michelin-Starred Chef Dominique Crenn Announces All of Her Restaurants Are Now “Meat Free” | vegnews.com

While seafood remains on the menu, the renowned chef vows to keep her restaurants free of land animals as a step to fight the climate crisis.

This week, chef Dominique Crenn—the first woman in the United States to ever be awarded Michelin’s highest distinction of three stars—announced that her San Francisco-based restaurant group, Crenn Dining Group, is officially committed to a “meat-free” policy. In an effort to reduce her environmental impact and set a precedent for other chefs, Crenn vowed to no longer serve meat from land animals—keeping seafood, eggs, and dairy on the menu—at her prestigious restaurants Petit Crenn, Bar Crenn, Atelier Crenn, and upcoming Boutique Crenn. “Meat is insanely complicated—both within the food system and the environment as a whole—and, honestly, it felt easier to just remove it from the menus all together,” Crenn said.
