After fire destroys kitchen, Herbivorous Butcher launches fundraiser to rebuild
The Herbivorous Butcher in Northeast Minneapolis has closed after a May 13 fire caused "serious damage" to its kitchen, forcing the vegan "butcher" to close its doors indefinitely. The owners, siblings Aubry and Kate Welch, say they don't "know yet how long the road to recovery will be," but the popular shop with meat-free meats and dairy-free cheeses is "committed to coming back." It has launched a GoFundMe fundraiser, looking for assistance as it rebuilds. "Right now, we're still learning the full extent of the damage," the owners wrote on the fundraiser. "The insurance company is on-site today, and we're doing everything we can to assess what can be salvaged, what needs rebuilding, and how long recovery might take." The fundraiser, which has a goal of $100,000, aims to help The Herbivorous Butcher with cleanup, repair, and "restoring operations." A day after launching the fundraiser, it had collected more than $16,500 in donations. "We've poured everything into creating a space that brings people together through compassionate food," the fundraiser reads, "and we're so grateful for your support during this incredibly difficult time."

Vegan fried chicken restaurant in Minneapolis to close next month
Herbie Butcher's Fried Chicken, a south Minneapolis vegan eatery from the brother-and-sister duo behind the Herbivorous Butcher, will close in late March. Aubry and Kale Walch announced Sunday that its plant-based fried chicken eatery will "take an indefinite sabbatical" after its final day of service Sunday, March 30. The restaurant originally opened at Chicago and 48th in 2021. "From the very first bite, you made our little fried chicken shack something truly special," they wrote. "The flavors, the memories, and the love poured into every meal will live on – not just in our hearts, but at The Herbivorous Butcher, where some of our classics will continue to shine." According to the announcement, Herbie Butcher's Fried Chicken's frozen fried chicken, Herbie's Mac Sauce, Tot Dust and Dragon Dust will continue to be sold online and at The Herbivorous Butcher. "Herbie Butcher's Fried Chicken may be taking a break, but its legacy—and its crunch—will live on," a Facebook post reads. "Our fried chicken production will continue forever, supplying our wholesalers just like before, so you'll always be able to get your hands on it." Beginning Saturday, Feb. 22, Herbie Butcher's Fried Chicken will be open every Saturday and Sunday from noon until 7 p.m.
