Plant Based News • Jan 18, 2026
Kevin and Harley Smith have revived their podcast, Vegan Abattoir, now as a YouTube show focusing on local businesses. The first episode features Bee and Wali, owners of BeeWali’s Vegan AF in LA. Kevin, a filmmaker, and Harley, his daughter, are both vegan and highlight the positive impact of plant-based eating on Kevin's health after a severe heart attack in 2018.
The revived show has shifted focus to showcasing different restaurants in each episode, including Maya’s Cookies and Element Vegan Cuisine. In the first episode, Bee described her menu as "Mediterranean food with an Indian twist," offering dishes like vegan kebab plates and plant-based BLTs. The Smiths aim to challenge the misconception that vegan food isn’t tasty and honor those who have supported their vegan journey while providing delicious options over the years.
