"After six years at its Lyn-Lake address, this vegan restaurant will leave at the end of October when its lease expires; the menu is 100 percent plant-based comfort food, with cauliflower wings, barbecue jackfruit, and falafel burgers, and the owners are seeking a new location with details to come." - Jeffy Mai
"Chef Louis Hunter serves soul food favorites at Minnesota’s first Black-owned vegan restaurant. Build a soul bowl with mac and cheese, collard greens, crumbled cornbread, and jackfruit barbecue riblets, or order a platter and add yams and Southern slaw. Trio also serves nacho fries loaded with taco fixings, falafel burgers, chili mac and cheese, and a Buffalo cauliflower wrap." - Stacy Brooks
"Minnesota’s first Black-owned vegan restaurant, Trio Plant-Based, is rooted in a commitment to serving the community tasty, nourishing soul food. Trio’s burgers, bowls, and wraps maintain their comfort-food element without animal products. The soul food platter is made with BBQ jackfruit ribs and a side of collard greens, while the popular Mac Attack burger features a Beyond patty, vegan cheese, and buffalo-seasoned “Mac and Cheez” on a fluffy pretzel bun." - Natalia Mendez
"On East Lake Street I reopened Trio Plant Based Meals with a limited menu and noon-to-6 p.m. service; owned by Louis Hunter and founded after he was charged for protesting his cousin Philando Castile’s killing, the vegan restaurant has already given out over 300 bowls to anyone in need and is asking for support." - Joy Summers
"Vegan comfort food comes with a side of feel-good story. Owner Louis Hunter came into the business as a first-time restaurant owner during a distressing time of his life, but he has since been thriving in this location, and things continue to look up." - Eater Staff
