When Chris Hudson saw a heat advisory in the forecast for the Portland, Oregon, area earlier this month, he sprang into action. Things were about to get sweaty in his vegan food truck and turning on its 75-pound deep fryer and 500-degree-Fahrenheit grill seemed like a bad idea.
"We are hoping to make it through the next few days by offering a cold menu," he told his business's followers on Instagram. Instead of grilling his famous meat-free burgers, he would serve a new "chik'n salad sando" and a "BBQ chik'n wrap." In lieu of fries, chips. Plus, for dessert, several flavors of dairy-free milkshakes and soft-serve ice cream with chocolate dip.
