Frankly Plant Based Kitchen
Food Truck Serving the Toledo Area, Locations Vary
https://www.franklypbk.com/

We love Frankly Plant-Based Kitchen. They are a food-truck business that started off in Austin, Texas and – fortunately for the Toledo area – they moved their business here.

They use a homemade seitan dog that has a unique set of seasonings that make it delicious on its own. And then come the toppings! They have a set of standard flavored dogs that are on the menu each week, along with one specialty dog that varies from week to week. And then they have sides: french fries, loaded fries, coleslaw, mac-n-chz and golden broccoli.

Everything we have had is top notch and we routinely get dogs for our family members who are not vegan, too. Unlike some vegan comfort food, this food is actually not very heavy and so we don't feel gross the next day after filling up on dogs! Our orders vary, though it usually is a Jon Stewart (sauerkraut and Russian dressing) along with the specialty dog plus an order of fries. Check out Frankly's social media where they highlight upcoming locations and specials for the week. Their specials are delicious and creative, such as a Banh Mi dog and Green Chile Mac.

Check out their weekly schedule and make a plan to stop by!

We enjoyed getting Mindful Table items when they were selling them from Churchill's but are absolutely delighted that they have their own storefront in Levis Commons with a much wider array of items for purchase. 

Everything that they sell is vegan and everything is gluten-free. We know that a lot of our readers are allergic to gluten because we are often asked if items that we post about are gluten-free.

We have been several times to get take-out (everything is take-out at this point) and have enjoyed our food. They have a rotating menu usually with several hot items, some deli items that are in the fridge and a great selection of baked goods and treats. In general, their food is what we could call Midwestern comfort food and we find that it scratches an itch for some of our favorite childhood foods that we just haven't had since going vegan. We love their creamy pasta salads and one of our favorites was the Deviled Non-Egg Pasta Salad in which they nailed the delicious taste that we were so used to having at family picnics. Other favorites are the lasagna, which has a rich set of flavors, and a "Lobster roll."  The baked goods are also well done with interesting flavors (we especially liked a pineapple one), often with rich frosting.

Check out Mindful Table. It's 100% vegan and so you don't have to worry about cross-contamination, nor explaining things to the staff. For those who are gluten-free, this place is going to be essential for you! For those of us who aren't gluten-free, you are going to enjoy this food and appreciate its creativity!
