Green Truck on the Go

Yes, we know that the notion of an ecologically conscious catering truck seems a bit... oxymoronic. But the service called Green Truck on the Go has managed it thanks to its solar powered commissary (with extra energy donated to the City of Los Angeles), environmentally friendly cleaning products, and a menu of good, and good for you, dishes. Options include banana pancakes with coconut-agave syrup, vegan breakfast burritos, meatless burgers with goat's milk feta and grilled sesame tofu skewers – there's grilled flank steak, too, for those who fear vegetables. The Green Truck has been used for catering by local media powerhouses like HBO, MTV, CBS, Fox, Sony and CAA. And yes, they've expanded to New York as well.
