Sixth Post in a Series: 🥩 Carnivores can love plant-based burgers! 🍔 🌿 🤟   She didn’t know it was vegan, and then liked it so much she recommended it to others! Every few months for special events, we would roll the Jackie Mays Burger food truck up to the deluxe Park Place Apartments in Denton, and feed hungry residents and guests. In this case, we served Bianka and Jevon, two new employees of our hosts, who tried our Jackie Mays Cheeseburgers and fries for the first time. Bianka thought she was eating a pure beef cheeseburger when Jevon let her know it was plant-based! Watch and hear what happens next. Thanks very much Bianka and Jevon! --- Since 2022, we at Jackie Mays Burger have recorded instances of meat-lovers – yes, loving our burgers.

Fourth Post in a Series: 🥩 Carnivores can love plant-based burgers! 🍔 🌿 🤟   They were looking for meat… look what happens next! One night at our favorite hotspot, Eastside Bar – the local Austin St. truck yard in Denton, we had some reluctant guests stop by our food truck looking for meat. So what did we do of course, offer them a free Jackie Mays Slider. You can watch what happens next, but they followed that up with orders of a Jackie Mays Cheeseburger and Double Cheeseburger.

Fifth Post in a Series: 🥩 Carnivores can love plant-based burgers! 🍔 🌿 🤟   They were skeptical but curious… and then converted! When you have never a tried plant-based burger you may be a little skeptical. But after stopping by our truck one night near the ever-fun Bearded Monk Bar, UNT alumnus Venson and his lovely wife Towanda were more than skeptical. Then they ate our Jackie Mays Cheeseburgers, and loved them, and then Venson said he was “converted”! Now, we aren’t trying to convert anyone, just have them enjoy and incorporate some plant-based goodness into their lives, and that’s what they did.

Eighth Post in a Series (of all, this one you don’t want to miss): 🥩 Carnivores can love plant-based burgers! 🍔 🌿 🤟   “This saved my life!” -- She was looking for an alternative to meat and found it.

Her mother wanted Whataburger, but Latasha passed on that thinking maybe a salad from Chik-fil-A would be satisfying.

Third Post in a Series: 🥩 Carnivores can love plant-based burgers! 🍔 🌿 🤟   Surprise, it’s not beef… so she can eat it too! Stopping by late after work one night, Frankie noticed our Jackie Mays Burger food truck parked next to a local hotspot called Lucky Lou’s and had to have a burger. He was in a hurry and missed the menu and our mention of “plant-based.” He loved the Jackie Mays Cheeseburger so he came back the next night with his friend Alejandra and this time ordered a Double Cheeseburger and fries, but his friend said, “wait, I can eat it [too] because it’s vegan, surprise!” So they ate and laughed, and chatted, and enjoyed their orders and then told us their story.

I love a good three degrees of separation Te Waipounamu South Island story. Recently, a couple of Kiwis, professionals in the food resilience space and newly returned from overseas, stumbled upon an article I wrote for Stonesoup Magazine during the Covid era. They recommended I join the upcoming Wao hui on food resilience. Uncannily, we met just days ago in Wānaka Festival of Colour world where they've become part of our festival family, and they made the connection. Next week, via Wao, we'll kōrero about local food resilience—a conversation I've been engaged in for twenty years. To me, a solution is clear. It's always been here, quietly sustained by home and community gardeners, hunters and some tiny but mighty food businesses—a localised food system. However, there's a major obstacle: the dominance of mass-produced, globalised food systems. And we need more than just local food producers; we're surrounded by dairy farms, yet there's no direct community access to their products. Grain is grown throughout Central, but most of it goes to feed livestock rather than people. So the pressing question remains: how do we change the system to strengthen our local food resilience? Once, a storm here blocked roads and prevented bread trucks from getting through, leaving supermarket shelves empty for days. The pandemic further disrupted supply chains on a whole different scale. Our business, however, remained relatively unscathed due to its operational model and supply chain. The story below presents one idea on how we might at least strengthen systems, and fundamentally, it's about connection...
