Key Takeaways

  • Crossroads Kitchen partners with Goldbelly to offer nationwide delivery of signature vegan dishes
  • The U.S. plant-based food market exceeds $8 billion with growing household penetration
  • Los Angeles ranks third globally for vegan dining options despite industry challenges

Crossroads Kitchen, the renowned Los Angeles vegan establishment backed by musician Travis Barker, has expanded its reach across America through a new partnership with Goldbelly. As reported by Vegnews, this milestone marks a significant evolution for the Mediterranean-inspired restaurant, making its award-winning plant-based cuisine accessible to homes nationwide.

The Culinary Innovation comes from Chef Tal Ronnen, recognized by Oprah Winfrey as “America’s best vegan chef.” Since founding Crossroads Kitchen in 2013, Ronnen has transformed the perception of plant-based dining through sophisticated cuisine that appeals to vegans and omnivores alike.

The Nationwide Menu features make-at-home versions of the restaurant’s most celebrated dishes:

  • Tagliatelle bolognese with rich plant-based sauce
  • Vegan chicken scallopini
  • Linguini with mushroom scallops
  • Fresh rigatoni in vodka sauce
  • Signature vegan macarons

Market Timing aligns with growing consumer demand for plant-based options. The Good Food Institute reports that the U.S. plant-based food market now exceeds $8 billion, with over 60% of American households purchasing plant-based products in 2023.

Los Angeles Leadership in vegan cuisine continues to grow, with the city recently ranked third globally for vegan food options by HappyCow, following only London and Berlin. This achievement comes despite industry challenges, including increased competition from traditional restaurants adding vegan options.

Industry Challenges persist across the sector. “2023 to 2024 were challenging years for vegan businesses,” notes Eric Brent, HappyCow’s founder. “Inflation, higher rents, and reduced lunch crowds from remote work have created difficulties for vegan business owners who often operate on low margins.”

Despite these obstacles, Crossroads Kitchen’s expansion demonstrates the resilience and evolution of high-end vegan dining, making premium plant-based cuisine accessible to a national audience.
