Hearty vegan soul food from burgers to soul bowls.
"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
"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
"Trio, the vegan restaurant from a trio of people united through the Black Lives Matter movement, is now open and serving at Lyn/Lake. Serving vegan soul food, soups and other comfort items made completely without animal products, the restaurant will open daily at 5 pm for dinner for now, but plans to expand to lunch hours in the future. Owned by Sarah and Dan Woodcock with Louis Hunter are tackling the challenging location of 610 West Lake Street which has been home to Prairie Dogs, Gray House, Emperors of Indian and others. The interior has been given a bright makeover with white wallpapered walls and vibrant green chairs." - Joy Summers
"Hunter and the Woodcocks are raising money to start a vegan restaurant called Trio in Minneapolis. As of publication, the project had reached $42,780 of its $50,000 goal." - Cinnamon Janzer
