PETA scoured the country for the Top 10 Vegan Dogs that kick meaty dogs’ buns—and the City of Angels’ own Frankenstand has won a top spot for its scary good Scarecrow dog.
Owned and operated by Ray Alishan, the mobile haunt dog stand can be found at varying locations throughout L.A. and features a selection of devilishly delicious menu offerings, including the award-winning Scarecrow dog—a classic vegan frank topped with Frankenstand esquites, vegan Cotija cheese, green onions, Sriracha mayo, and a lime wedge.
“After just one bite, the Scarecrow will have you screaming for more, making it the perfect animal-friendly answer to any comfort food craving,” says PETA President Ingrid Newkirk. “All the award wieners on PETA’s national Top 10 list prove that compassion is a delicious business.”
The Frankenstand will receive a framed certificate from PETA in honor of its culinary achievement. The other top dogs receiving the group’s recognition are the Rad Dawg at Totally Awesome Vegan Food Truck (Portland, Maine), the Bahn Me Dawg at Pingala Cafe (Burlington, Vermont), the Big Daddy Special at Kale My Name (Chicago), the Vegan Buffalo Blu at Sporty Dog Creations (Baltimore), the Vegan Italian Warsaw at The Wienery (Minneapolis), the Coney Dog at VEG-N (Lansing, Michigan), the Chicago Hot at Doggystyle (Sarasota, Florida), the Vegan at Wiener Kitchen (Overland Park, Kansas), and the Vegan Chilly Cheez Dawg at Chilly Dawgz (Thomasville, Pennsylvania).
In addition to saving nearly 200 animals every year, each person who goes vegan reduces their risk of suffering from heart disease, diabetes, obesity, and cancer and shrinks their carbon footprint.
PETA—whose motto reads, in part, that “animals are not ours to eat”—opposes speciesism, a human-supremacist worldview, and offers a free vegan starter kit on its website.
