A former Australian Idol contestant is making a comeback in the hospitality industry after being forced to close his vegan cafe due to controversy surrounding his 'Trump safe zone' declaration. The cafe, which sparked outrage for being unwelcoming to the LGBTQI community, is set to reopen with a new approach. The owner aims to rebuild his reputation and provide a inclusive dining experience, focusing on vegan cuisine and excellent customer service, amidst the competitive Australian food scene and trending plant-based diets.
