Scott and the rest of the local vegans, check out this expose of some local food joints - looks like some aren't strictly vegan. http://www.quarrygirl.com/2009/06/28/undercover-investigation-of-la-area-vegan-restaurants/
those 'vegan' thai places have always been sketchy. usually i stick to tofu when i find myself at one. there are TONS of better vegan joints to eat at anyhow.
