the events that are taking place this
upcoming weekend with your weekend watch.
But another one that you might t
to stay tuned into is the larget
outdoor vegan market in San Die.
Michelle, thank you for joining
us this morning, the organizer.
We also have Chris and Nicholase
Donuttery who are going to be out there this
weekend showing off these delicious Donuts.
I'm also going to be trying then
a second, but I want to start o.
Of course we're talking about
what's going to be taking place.
Michelle, you said that you are vegan and you
kind of wanted to bring that to San Diego.
These these outdoor markets that
typically like you said are mainly up
in LA you know the massive citi.
It's now San Diego's turn right
to get a little taste of it.
Yeah, we have our own vegan mar.
We are popping up all over
North County on a weekly basis.
So we have we're in Vista twice
a month and then this weekend
we're going to be in North Park.
I think it's so important because there
are so many vegan people and like I said,
I feel like in from what
I've seen trying vegan food,
it is so much more difficult to
make good vegan food than when u
have meat products and you know,
animal products.
So to be able to do it well is such a craft.
And I think that this is such al
opportunity even for people who are not
vegan to see what is out there, right?
Most of the people that come to
our events are not vegan, you k,
there's just not that many of u.
So it's just it's people that
want to try something different,
that want to have a better impat
on the planet, that want to do
something healthier for themsel.
And we're so lucky that all
of our vendors are really,
really sticklers for making
sure that their products taste
just as good as the real thing.
Case in point,
the donuttery Chris,
tell us how you guys came to be.
You guys are Orange County based, right?
So so when how long have you been around
the food truck The we have a store in
Huntington Beach.
It's been open since the 1970s.
Wow. And it's been it's become
a Huntington Beach is favorite
like local donut shops.
Yeah. And do you have, is it all
vegan Donuts that you do or did
you? We started making vegan Dos
like 15 years ago as more and me
of our patrons, like, requested
them. And you brought the
whole truck out for us too.
Oh yeah, Michelle was saying that you guys
like sell out every time you're there.
There's huge lines, right?
So it gets super busy. I mean, ?
So most popular vendor,
I imagine. Like what?
So you don't have to give us,
of course, all the ingredients,
but what makes these special?
How do you make a vegan donut?
We use, like
a lot of other donut shops, They use lard
and animal products and milk and eggs.
You guys have some alternatives?
Well, I'm going to,
I'll take a bite of this one.
I was going to ask you Michelle, too,
because you said this is a guava
one, right? Yes, that's the
guava molasada. It's my favorite
while I do that so that I'm not speaking
with this delicious showing in my mouth.
You were saying people don't ned
to buy tickets in advance, righ?
They can just come and visit. Y,
you can. You can just show up.
We're going to be at the North
Park Mini Park behind the
observatory from 12:00 to 4:00.
You can get more information
online at veganfoodpopup.com.
Also, on all the socials at Vegan Food popup,
you can check out the big list of vendors.
We have over 50 vendors this weekend,
which is really exciting. That's
very exciting. And North Park is
such a great place to do it, to,
because it's always active and
very fustling. And lots of people will just
be going about their day and then they
see Donut Truck and they have to stop.
And and there's going to be
other options too, right?
Just like the savory options.
Oh, my goodness. Sweet savory.
Just really something for every.
Everything from pizza to sushi to burgers,
tons of Mexican food, African f.

Do you guys have a website as
well that people can visit?
Yeah, the donuttery.

So we have an amazing Friday
night market, which is super fu.
