Community Vegan
Included In
There are a lot of things to love about Community Vegan—a food truck on East 11th Street specializing in plant-based comfort foods—but none as much as the fact that the menu has not one but two varieties of fried mushrooms. Order the lemon pepper wangz for a basket full of fried oyster mushrooms in a zesty lemon pepper seasoning, or get the dime bag and take a walk around the neighborhood with a brown paper bag full of crispy bite-sized chunks of lion’s mane. But a food truck can’t survive off mushroom sales alone (at least not of the grocery store variety), and the menu includes a bunch of plant-based takes on classic bar food, like chili cheese fries and loaded totchos.
Head to Community Vegan before an evening of drinks at Nickel City across the street, or when you forgot to make a reservation for Paperboy two months ago and want some good, hearty food that you can eat on a bright patio looking out over 11th Street. Or just order an entire bucket of fried oyster mushrooms, fries, rolls, and hot peppers and bring it home for an afternoon of grazing on the couch.
