Those who dream big will often have naysayers. Even if you’re an accomplished multi-album producing rock star. Such was the case with Chrissie Hynde when she threw up the idea of a vegan restaurant in the heart of the midwest.
“There wasn’t one vegetarian restaurant in Akron, so I said, ‘I’ll do it,’ and it’s just been a phenomenon,” she said.
“Everybody told me, ‘Don’t do it, it will not work. But I had to do it anyway, because I had to have somewhere I could eat.”
Although she lives in the UK, she frequently stops by Ohio to check up on her chefs, visit family, and of course, get her hands involved with serving customers. At her restaurant, The Vegiterranean’s opening, she even personally served veggie burgers to police officers.
Yeah Chrissie! That sure beats the stereotyped cop fare of donuts and 7-Eleven snack food.
