Sounds like North Park straight edge from several years back.

haha...

speaking of "north park vegan", can we please talk about that colima's place? i've had a few people try and tell me that place is vegan-safe, but when i went in there i straight up asked them if they used manteca and they said yes. too bad...wanted to try it out since it's so close to home.

I think what happens in those situations is people come in and ask and the dudes behind the counter just really don't give a shit and will say whatever they feel the customers wants to hear. "You guys use lard or anything in your beans?"... "no"... "THIS PLACE ROCKS"

[Gooch]

I think that's more the fault of the questioner rather than the responder.

"You guys don't use lard...RIGHT?"
"Uh...no of course not."
"Good. I told you this place was vegan."

what rick and spence say is too true. that's why i usually take the "allergic" route when it comes to dairy and eggs. restaurants are likely not going to fuck around and risk getting sued by getting someone sick i would think.
it's a little tougher when it comes to lard (though i guess someone could be allergic to that too...never used that angle but it probably wouldn't hurt to try in a sketchy situation). i've found the best way typically is to not mention either lard or vegetable oil and just ask generically what the beans are cooked in. that way it could go one of two ways: someone asking for veg-safe food or someone looking for "traditional" mex food.
