Looking back

The SD Foodie take

Editorial commentary written from Roger’s original photograph and caption. Roger’s own words are the quoted photo note above.

The Mother Trucker sits open in a paper boat: a veggie patty with tomato and sprouts, a top bun stamped with a pink peace sign, and a pile of sweet potato wedges alongside.

It was posted from the same Mission Valley food-truck night as a photo captioned Time to eat, and belongs with the Urban Eats lamb burger from two weeks later. Roger was going vegan for individual meals long before plant-based places became a theme of his recommendations.

The quick critique

What stood out

Archive verdict

A playful vegan truck burger from the height of San Diego’s food-truck gatherings.
