The business will open a new food trailer at the Springdale Food Park in East Austin, co-owner Mike Wood told Community Impact. He expects to open in mid- to late October.<\/p>\n<p>Why the move<\/p>\n<p>Owners Mike and Danielle Wood said in a<a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/DZaDv6pDoXX\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\"> June Instagram post<\/a> that the climbing costs of running a physical storefront and sourcing supplies left the trailer format as the only way to keep the business afloat long-term.<\/p>\n<p>The switch brings the vegan comfort-food business back to how it launched in 2010. This time it&#8217;s an entirely new trailer, Wood said, where he and his wife will run the business with their two kids.<\/p>\n<p>What&#8217;s on the menu<\/p>\n<p>The fully vegan menu is built with allergies in mind, with many items labeled nut-free, soy-free or gluten-free, per the website.<\/p>\n<p>Burritos and bowls make up the core of the menu, centered on tempeh and seasoned soy curls served with rice, beans, avocado and house-made sauces.<\/p>\n<p>The site also lists a kids&#8217; menu, scratch-made cookies and drinks such as Mexican Coke and Topo Chico.<\/p>\n<p>What&#8217;s next<\/p>\n<p>Wood said the trailer should be ready for the owners to load their equipment this week, but he won&#8217;t have a firm opening date until an inspection is scheduled. The owners said they will post updates on Instagram and Facebook.<\/p>\n<p><script async src=\"\/\/www.instagram.com\/embed.js\"><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Family-run The Vegan Yacht shut its South Austin storefront Aug. 2 after eight years at 2000 Southern Oaks&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":444377,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[11],"tags":[132,153404,134,133,2924,91586,153403,4522,151041,153402],"class_list":["post-444376","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-austin","tag-austin","tag-austin-burritos","tag-austin-headlines","tag-austin-news","tag-east-austin","tag-food-trailer","tag-mike-and-danielle-wood","tag-south-austin","tag-the-vegan-yacht","tag-vegan-restaurant"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/444376","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=444376"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/444376\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/444377"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=444376"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=444376"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=444376"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
