"Since taking over vegan institution Homegrown Smoker, the team behind The Mocking Bird combined both concepts under one roof, churning out barbecue plates, crunchwraps, and fried chicken sandwiches at the St. Johns cafe. On the menu, find a barbecue sauce-drenched Beyond burger with smoky bacon, fried onions, and pickles on a pretzel bun; the gentle kick of jalapeño in the patty keeps things interesting. During weekend brunch, keep an eye out for Homegrown Smoker’s breakfast burger special, topped with vegan bacon, melted cheese, and a surprising vegan sunny-side egg. Many of the shop’s creations also appear at The Mocking Bird food cart at BG Food Cartel in Beaverton." - Waz Wu
