Visiting Des Moines and caught Veggie Thumper doing a pop up. So much appreciation for their origin story and mission. Had the bbq chick’n nachos and those were the very best vegan nachos I’ve ever had in my 10 years on their journey. Phone DID NOT eat first 😂 The absolute sweetest humans pouring their entire hearts and souls into bringing intentionally sourced high quality vegan food to DSM.

The bbq ‘chick’n’ loaded nachos were amazing! Definitely hit the spot. Enough for lunch and dinner. And gluten free!

I just started stopping at this food truck this last year even though I’ve been vegan and in the DSM area for a while. I don’t know why I was sleeping on this food. The flavor of all the dishes I have tried is spot on. The Reuben is by far my favorite though. I will keep coming back for more.

When I searched for vegan spots to try while in town this is one spot that kept coming up and I’m happy I stopped by!!! The Frisco melt and root wedges and the jerk chick’n n black bean tacos were full of flavor. The customer service was outstanding too!! 😆
