NEW OPENINGS AND RETURNS
Gnarlys
This vegan fast-food cart opened in the CORE food cart pod in mid-December, but was forced to close for a couple of weeks due to owner and sole cook Chris Hudson contracting a breakthrough case of COVID-19. (The business is currently raising funds to cover the losses from the closure.) It reopened in late January and is now slinging hearty burgers with extras like Thrilling Foods Bakon Strips, vegan provolone, fried onions, and more, plus some loaded “gnarly fries” (a plant-based take on In-N-Out’s beloved animal-style fries).
