[INTERVIEW TRANSCRIPTION:] So I was walking down the street and I spotted a food truck. So I thought I would go in and find out what that was about. First of all, what is a food truck?
Well we have a industry grade kitchen in the back of our truck. And we can park anywhere we want, and serve food to people. And what's the name of this food truck? We're Rollin' Roots, San Diego.
Rollin' Roots. Okay so I'm sure you've got some kind of specialty, something you specialize in. Why don't you tell us what's really good here?
All right, first of all, we're a vegan spot. We specialize in vegan comfort food. We, we have four different styles of proteins, which are all 100% meatless and uhh plant based, so there's no soy or anything like that, and everything's gluten free, pretty much.
All right, so we're talking vegan, gluten free, and we'd better be talking tasty, right? Oh, I'll show you, man! I'll show you!
You can't, you can't, you can't show us because we're just talking. Why don't you, why don't you describe a couple of what, you said there's four styles, what's that?
Yeah four styles. So we can, you can do any of our proteins on your choice of a sandwich, loaded fries or our brown rice bowl. One of our, one of my favorite items to make is a Daikon Love which is pulled oats and mushrooms on a bed, on a bed of red cabbage with some chipotle aioli that we make here in house, and it's 100% vegan. Teriyaki sauce, sriracha, fresh mint, jalapeño. That's all in that one? Yeah, there's more stuff here, there's french fries in it and gives it kind of that Cali vibe, you know?
Uh right so that's because when I'm looking up there I see four things: I see Rich Gal, Texas in Cali, Daikon Love, and Spicy Boy, right, have I got it right? Yeah, and they're all basically different... Different proteins. So like our Spicy Boy is like a buffalo chicken, but we use fried oyster mushrooms instead of chicken. It's actually really amazing. I think the fried chicken is good on any of the styles of the sandwiches, you can substitute and play around with the different, different proteins and stuff: it's awesome.
Alright so just before we go, give me a list of, because you give me a list of the proteins that are available, because I don't think I got that.Okay, so for our po'boy. We have a heart of palm, deep fried. We have BBQ Jackfruit for Texas in Cali. We have pulled oats and mushrooms for our Bahn Mi and buffalo chicken for our Spicy Boy, fried oyster mushrooms.
All right, well, I don't know if you understood that, I got about half of it, but what I did understand is that it's probably really, really tasty! It's amazing, yeah. If you don't like vegan food, then you haven't tried Rollin Roots!
Oh there you go, and what do these things, sent you back?.What's up?What are the plates, about what do they cost? Oh, each sandwich is about $9 loaded fries for $10 but it's enough to feed two people, they're sharable!
Oh, Okay. All right, so they're that big, and that delicious! Whoa! There you go, we're right near the local little airport too so we've got extra sound effects. But that's it, next time you're in this part of the beautiful San Diego, be sure to stop by the Rollin Roots.
Yeah, thank you sir. Okay, thank you for your time. All right. Have a good one, buddy!
