If you love big comfort-food energy, get ready: Animal rights advocate, content creator, documentarian, and author John Lewis (aka “The Badass Vegan”) just brought unapologetically bold plant-based food to your kitchen with Badass Butcher Shop—a versatile lineup of comfort classics that hits hard without hurting anyone.
Because let’s be for real: food should taste like a celebration, not like someone suffered for it.
First of all, the menu? Stacked.
Badass Butcher Shop understood the assignment with plant-based meats you can flip into whatever you’re craving, from tacos to rice bowls to loaded sandwiches. We’re talking Get Shredded Chicken, Get Shredded Steak, and Prime Cut—easy building blocks for weeknight dinners and last-minute hangouts. The food is delicious, easy to make at home, and best of all, completely animal-free.
Now we’re cooking!
In a new video, Lewis links up with Badass Butcher Shop’s culinary expert, Chef Chew, to show how easy it is to whip up a hearty plate of vegan mac, greens, and fried meat-free chicken, all using the brand’s offerings.
And this is just the beginning! Stay tuned, we’ll be posting new recipe videos featuring John Lewis and Chef Chew throughout May.
‘Giving things up?’ Nah. Upgrade your whole plate.
John Lewis says it best, going vegan isn’t about giving anything up, it’s about raising the bar on everything you love:
“You’re gaining good food, you’re gaining your health, you’re gaining saving animals.”
Speaking of health, Badass Butcher Shop uses simple, nourishing ingredients like whole-bean proteins, garlic, onion, sea salt, and real spices. It’s wholesome food, crafted to taste like the meals you grew up loving. You’ll get protein, fiber, and calcium and zero cholesterol or trans fats.
As for animals, they aren’t ingredients, they’re individuals. Every animal is someone, from cows who form lifelong friendships to chickens who navigate complex social hierarchies called “pecking orders.” Their bodies and lives belong to them, and they deserve compassion and respect.
If comfort food can taste this good without harming a single living, feeling individual, why wouldn’t you level up?
