Episode 88- Cult of One: Sarma Melngailis, The Conned "Bad Vegan"

This week the gals talk about the "Vegan Bernie Maddoff", Sarma Melngailis. Jeepers Creepers!

Bad Vegan is topping the charts on Netflix right now and it made us question "why haven't we covered any con artists?!". Sarma Melngailis was once known as "The Vegan Queen" but fell into disgrace when she was caught ordering Dominoes while holed up in a Tennessee hotel. But it wasn't Sarma who made the order, it was conman Anthony Strangis. Sarma's taken most of the flack for the downfall of her immensely popular raw, vegan NYC restaurant Pure Food and Wine, but Strangis is the one who we should be pointing the finger at. Join us as we dive into the wild story of how this gambling-addict conman ruined (at least temporarily) the life of this famous chef.
