We’ve got a true #tacotuesday good-news two-fer for you today!

Vancouver’s beloved West End plant-based hotspot @beetboxveg is featuring a new 🌱 menu item that will join its lineup of deliciously conscious comfort food until next Monday, April 26.

Say hola! to their new Vegan Quesabirria Tacos 🌮 featuring braised oyster mushrooms, Mexican chiles and jalapeño-studded ‘cheeze’ served with spicy mushroom consommé for dipping.

But that’s not all!!

In honour of Earth Day this Thursday, April 22, Beetbox will donate one dollar from every Crispy Chick-Un Sandwich sold (swipe left) to help low-income families from around the Lower Mainland send their children to camps organized by @saplingsoutdoor — a forest school that connects children with the natural world, allows them to explore the outdoors and discover a deep sense of wonder and love for learning.

BONUS: If guests choose to leave an extra donation, Beetbox will match it as well!

At Beetbox, every day is focused on earth-friendly initiatives — since its inception, its core values have been focused on minimizing the impact the restaurant has on the environment by being as carbon-neutral as possible, reducing food waste and using almost entirely compostable materials for its packaging in an effort to embrace the changes people are making in the ways they produce, prepare and consume food.

Good food. Good people. Good news all around.

That message of support for restaurateurs from Justin Tisdall, Co-Owner of Vancouver’s Juke Fried Chicken and The Chickadee Room, comes from a recent story on @news1130radio.

It comes as businesses around BC await confirmation today from the government on how much longer the current restriction on dine-in service will be extended, but it could well be until the May long weekend.

Tisdall is one of many owners who have had to refocus their priorities on take-out and delivery in the interim in an effort to weather the latest storm, and he is urging the public to support their favourite local businesses whenever possible, but also to be as patient as they can with the staff who work there.

“If you’re going out and doing take-out, be kind. Staff are working really hard under a lot of pressure,” said Tisdall. “They have a lot of new service standards they have to (adhere to) and COVID protocols, so be kind. Be thoughtful.”

Tisdall has a good reason to celebrate this week — his Juke team is about to sell its millionth piece of chicken since the Chinatown hotspot opened five years ago.

To mark the occasion, Juke is giving one of its fans the chance to win Juke for a Year during a ‘Thanks a Million’ Giveaway. From today through Wednesday, April 21, one lucky guest who orders the one-millionth piece of Juke’s fried chicken for in-store pickup will win one ‘Juke Box’ (two pieces of chicken, 1/4 rack of ribs and side) per week for a year, plus a selection of Juke’s signature bottled sauces for a value of $1,000.

“One million pieces of chicken is a major milestone four our whole family and this is our way of saying ‘thanks a million’ to our loyal fans,” he says. “We genuinely appreciate all of their support, encouragement and love, especially over the past year.”

Stand tall. Stay strong. Show love. Support local.
