Vegan restaurant sensation Cook Daily will return to its Boxpark Shoreditch home after closing its first permanent restaurant in London Fields. Owner King Cook — King Senathit — announced the news on Instagram last week, posting a jubilant photo outside the new unit.

Cook told Eater in a profile last year that:

“It’s true that when people think of veganism, they think of white, middle-class and we are changing that. It is what it is and it’s been like that for a long time. I don’t feel that much about it. I’m doing something about it.

I don’t have to change to be vegan. I don’t have to start yoga. I don’t have to start juice cleansing. I can just be me and not have dead animals as a snack. I always push the vegan agenda. I’m representing for veganism. The passion now is to be the best and move forward with the movement, not a cult but a culture.”

This new opening is the start of a franchising push that Cook sees as the future of the brand, already signed by Market Halls Victoria — he wants it to be the vegan equivalent of Subway, according to Big Hospitality.
