Editor’s Pick
Vegan Food Truck
Not a lot of competition is such a niche, but that doesn’t keep The Sleazy Vegan food truck from striving for gourmet excellence. To counter the “lunch coach” ambiance of the food truck world, Sleazy Vegan strives for hyper-local produce and partners with local purveyors for delicacies like their popular lettuce cups (including a spicy Thai peanut spin) or their many soups (try the roasted tomato soup with a “Grilled Sleaze,” aka vegan grilled cheese). Want something hearty? Our publisher says he had a “spicy vegan sausage that makes this committed carnivore sublimely satisfied.” www.thesleazyvegan.com
