10/10 Amazing! Heroes! - Edit
AMAZING!!! We were so excited for our first (of many) dining experience at Trio that we ended up ordering almost everything on the menu. Each delicious plate was as impressive as the next so it’s hard to pick a favorite. I loved the ham and cheese sandwich served with tomato soup - but again everything was 10/10 so no matter what you’re in the mood for you can’t go wrong. Going plant based was the best thing we’ve ever done for our health, the environment and especially the animals - the ultimate win/win/win - but Trio added another win, racial justice! Trio is owned primarily by people of color and has a progressive mission of empowering others. Check out their original kickstarter video for more info on their origin story. These guys put it all on the line for something they believe in and Minneapolis is so lucky to have them. They’re personal heroes of mine and they also know how to cook! You’ll dine feeling good knowing that you support good people but will be simultaneously blown away by their food!

Delicious Vegan Soul Food - Edit
Some things just cannot be put on the back burner. This review is one of those things. I was lucky enough, by chance, to be in town when I heard about this new vegan restaurant’s grand opening. I arrived @ 5:20pm on Sunday night, 30Sep, the first night of the grand opening event, and the place was packed! (Always a good sign.) The hostess was very pleasant and organized. She took my name and number, put me on the waitlist, and I received a text once my table was ready.
Read moreI ordered the Soul Food Platter and picked BBQ “ribs,” collard greens, sweet potatoes, and cornbread with maple butter. BAAAAABY! When I say the food was fire, I mean hella!
COLLARD GREENS were seasoned so good it makes you wonder why people ever put meat in non-vegan versions. I didn’t even need the obligatory hot sauce! I will say that there were too many stems, but I thoroughly enjoyed these greens, nonetheless.
SWEET POTATOES that would make your granny proud. Sweet, cinnamony & nutmegy. They were perfect.
CORNBREAD complete with pieces of corn inside. This is one of my favorite cornbread recipes. I’m ordering 2 or 3 next time!
BBQ RIBS - they were good (but not like, OMG great), and so tender that you could cut them with a fork. They come from The Herbivorous Butcher. I may or may not order them again.
Of course Tiggy had to order not one, but two desserts.
PEACH COBBLER - Hunty! It was so good, I ‘bout threw my fork. They don’t have vegan ice cream yet, but an a la mode version would set it off. Delicious! I’m too full to try the Vanilla cake with strawberry sauce, so I’ll report back on that in the photos.
They had other things on the menu, but I was drawn to the southern and soul food options, and they did NOT disappoint. Southern food done right, and cruelty free to top it off!! I’ll be back!
