"The restaurant world is rife with dramatic stories of crime and fraud, and this Netflix tale isn’t even close to the wildest. While watching Bad Vegan, the four-episode Netflix documentary series that chronicles the downfall of New York City raw vegan restaurant Pure Food and Wine, I found myself continually wondering when, exactly, the real crazy shit was going to start..." - Amy McCarthy
"In the early 2000s, Sarma Melngailis had everything. She was the hot blonde chef of celebrity-packed restaurant Pure Food & Wine, the face of the kind of dietary movement — vegan food with nothing cooked above 120 degrees Fahrenheit — that was quickly gaining ground in New York City." - Jaya Saxena
