Four years after closing his acclaimed vegan kitchen, chef Rahein Jones is back in Delray Beach with an enduringly noble goal: to make vegan comfort food taste better than regular comfort food.

This time, though, the plant-based food pioneer is bringing his approach to the highest-profile perch of his career — buzzy restaurant-row Atlantic Avenue.

True Vegan by Chef Rahein, which soft-opened Nov. 15 at 123 E. Atlantic Ave., a short block east of Old School Square, is a reboot of his fan-favorite eatery, The New Vegan, which shut in late 2021. It touts a refreshed, familiar menu of VFC (that’s vegan fried chicken for you carnivores) and a new roster of soft-serve ice cream, pasta fagioli soup and pizza flatbreads that Jones describes as “the menu everyone remembers, plus more of it.”
