New Yorkers are lining up to eat at a fast-casual restaurant that wants to change how you feel about vegan food

As fast-food gets health-savvy, By Chloe is precisely on trend.

The fast-casual restaurant serves up food that is 100% vegan, plant-based, and kosher certified. However, the menu is intended to appeal to vegans and non-vegans alike, with a menu packed with meat-free taco salad, burgers, french fries, and pasta.

Chef Chloe Coscarelli and partner Samantha Wasser only opened the first By Chloe location last year. However, Nation's Restaurant News already named the concept one of its Breakout Brands of 2016. By Chloe has at least two more new New York City locations in the works, and is partnering with Whole Foods to open an outpost in the first ever 365 by Whole Foods Market in Los Angeles this summer.

I'm no vegan, but, reading the rave reviews about By Chloe, I was convinced I needed to give the chain a try.
