While I find a good hot dog irresistible, I’m also a huge fan of vegan cooking. Vegan chefs have to think out of the (butter) box and I find their food some of the most imaginative on the Shoreline. My husband? Not so much; until he got his hands on a plate of wild jungle peanut butter soba noodles, quinoa and black bean chili and sweet potato fries from the GMonkey Mobile after the Tour de Lyme. Mark Shadle and Ami Beach, owners of G-Zen in Branford, spread vegan love with treats like raw tacos, vegan grilled cheese, organic burritos and their wickedly delicious fries. They’ll customize a seasonal, organic and sustainable menu for your party of 20 to 150 for $10 to $50 per person.
