Vegan comfort food with new pop-up, Vegan & Sara Comedian Michael Yo joins Mike + Fiona for a taste test of this San Antonio vegan spot’s creations
SAN ANTONIO – Want to eat plant-powered food, but don’t necessarily want to be healthy about it? San Antonio’s newest pop-up vegan spot, Vegan & Sara, has just the comfort food for you.
Owner Stephanie Lopez makes a plant-based fried chick’n sandwich out of oyster mushrooms. They look and taste similar to chicken. She also makes a fried cauliflower and mashed potato sandwich, which is a play on a classic chicken fried steak sandwich.
Watch the video above for a sample of her food, along with another appearance by Texas comedian Michael Yo. You can find Vegan & Sara ’s pop-up kitchen Mondays from noon to 9 p.m., or until they sell out, at The Good Kind Southtown .
