Methodology
To choose the best vegan restaurants in every state, we first looked at Happy Cow, a website that lists vegan restaurants and collects customer reviews. This allowed us to find the most popular restaurants. Where some were neck and neck, we then compared the reviews on Yelp, finding which ones got the better rating. When states had too many restaurants to look at each one individually, we referenced Reddit for recommendations or used our personal experience to decide.
