An English head chef has faced swift backlash for Facebook comments claiming she "spiked a vegan" during a dining event.
Laura Goodman, who worked at Carlini Restaurant based in Shropshire in central England, posted the comments on 'The Boring Group' on Saturday morning saying, "Pious, judgemental vegan (who I spend all day cooking for) has gone to bed, still believing she's a vegan", according to the BBC.
She later commented: "Spiked a vegan a few hours ago."
The posts sparked outrage online with vegans and non-vegans hitting out at the chef, prompting Ms Goodman to delete the comments.
The restaurant's Google review has been flooded with poor ratings after Goodman's Facebook comments, bringing the star rating down to 1.2.
