In late 2006, Johnny Diablo, a committed vegan of 23 years, opened a restaurant/bar in Portland, Ore., to prove that meatless fare could be delicious and satisfying — something guys could eat while they're hanging out and just being guys. But the venture flopped. 'Even though Portland is known for being open-minded and liberal, I just could not get these guys to come in here to try the food,' he says. 'We do a very good job of making authentic-tasting, meat-style dishes — but in their heads, they were like, 'I can't go into a vegetarian place.' ' So last month, after retooling both the space and the concept, Diablo reopened the doors, unveiling a devil-themed venue called Casa Diablo Gentlemen's Club — the world's first vegan strip club — where, as he told local media, 'We put the meat on the pole, not on the plate.'
