“I've always lived trying to give more to the world than I took from it—going vegan fit right into my life.”

Hi! I'm Jordan, I'm the owner and chef of The Hogtown Vegan (having officially taken over the restaurant from the two previous owners in April, 2024, after previously being here as a chef!).

I've been vegan for the last five years, and before I started spending my time running a restaurant, you would've been able to find me volunteering across Toronto with numerous organizations, putting myself wherever I thought I could make the most difference. Now, you'll be able to find me locked inside The Hogtown Vegan 6 or 7 days a week, doing my best to run a restaurant! Send help!

About The Hogtown Vegan: Originally created in 2011, we officially opened the doors of our first location on Bloor Street West. We've had a total of five owners over the years (myself being the 6th, the first time the restaurant's ever only had one owner!), and we're currently on our third location. Our fare is Southern-style comfort food, and I'm hoping I'm able to bring some of the exciting new ideas I've been thinking up to the table this year!
