* Signed Bookplate * “Vegan Mob comprises all of the things that inspire me; a love of my city, a love of hip-hop, and of course, a love of good-ass food.”--Toriano Gordon Toriano Gordon, the chef behind Vegan Mob, grew up sharing soul food with his family and friends. When he began eating vegan after wanting to improve his health, he was nostalgic for those childhood flavors, so he spent hours painstakingly recreating them from scratch. His innovative dishes became the backbone of Vegan Mob, a Bay Area original that draws in vegans and carnivores alike.
