ALBRIGHTON, U.K. – A restaurant chef resigned recently after boasting of “spiking” a vegan group’s meals, according to the Daily Mail.

Laura Goodman went on Facebook to complain about how she spent hours preparing a special menu for a group of vegan and vegetarian guests at her Italian restaurant, only to have them order a non-vegan meal.

She also went on Twitter to say, a “pious, judgmental diner (who I spent all day cooking for) has gone to bed still believing she’s a vegan.”

The comments prompted an angry reaction from the public, with calls for Goodman to be prosecuted for assault, and Goodman even facing death threats.

Her fiancé and business partner apologized and said Goodman had had too much to drink before making the false claims.
