I love a good food truck, so I thought it would be fitting to do a little write up on the food trucks I encounter & which ones are safe for me (us) to order from. There are, of course, the trucks/stands that I have been wanting to try: Seabirds & Frankenstand. However, they don’t really come to the South Bay, and I have yet to venture north or south to see what they are all about. That being said, I have decided to start with an event that I will be attending this week… 1st Thursday ArtWalk in San Pedro. There will be 11 food trucks there this month, and I have reached out to each of them to find out what vegan treats they have in store. Here is this months 1st Thursday Food Trucks line-up:
Nom Nom Truck: “Our bread, tortillas and tofu is vegan. We also have Mushroom Pate coming back (next week though) stop byyy!” (Ask for no mayo if you get the Bánh mì)
Dim Sum Truck: “We have vegetarian dumplings that are steamed with carrots, peas, and cabbage! I believe that is our only vegan option.”
Shrimp Pimp: “I could do a veggie Po boy.”
Let’s Roll It: “We have our veggie roll. It’s very good! Cucumbers, avocados, carrots, asian pickled radish, with our sweet teriyaki sauce”
Grilled Cheese Truck
Lobsta Truck
India Jones
Great Balls On Tires
Lake Street Creamery: ”No I’m sorry – its all dairy right now. We do sorbets once in a while but don’t have any this week.”
OG Tempura: “as of now, we have no vegan option, but I will try and brain storm something…..”
Waffles de Liege: NO vegan options
The Redondo Beach Art Group (which I am a member of) will be presenting “California Coastal” at The Loft Studios on South Mesa Street, between 4th & 5th Street. Stop by and have a look, the galleries are open from 6 to 9 pm.
