Vegan means that nothing coming out of the food truck comes from an animal.
Owner Adam Sobel isn't interested in converting people, just sharing his love for food vegan food.
"I really wanted to find a way to bring this cuisine to people that wouldn't go into a vegetarian restaurant," Sobel said.
There are wraps, heroes and sandwiches, and some with Asian flavors.
One featured sandwich is more Americana with maple mustard tempeh served with kale.
His soups will even appeal to carnivores including one made with kabocha squash soup.
Adam slices it up, with the rind on, he marinates the squash in olive oil, soy sauce and powdered ginger before grilling the slices.
Meanwhile, he makes a stock flavored with sage, bay leaves, and spices.
The squash goes in along with maple syrup before it's all pureed.
"It's like a Thanksgiving soup," Sobel said.
For dessert there is a creme brulee donut without the cream.
The desserts are the gateway to the world of vegan.
