Q&A WITH L A JAC K A M O B I L E
Edible: How long have you been operating in the food industry, and have you always operated as a vegan food truck? La Jacka: We’ve been operating as a food truck restaurant for the past 7 years but began creating food products out of jackfruit about 20 years ago. We started out mainly selling meat options with jackfruit as a side option. But it became more popular over time and eventually we were selling 80 percent jackfruit to 20 percent meat, so we decided to make the switch. We still offer meat proteins upon request, especially during brewery events. We make sure to use separate cooking surfaces to avoid cross contamination and we also have a commercial kitchen for catering and prep.
