I'm going to tell you two things straight up: 1) I am vegan and 2) I haven't eaten a hot dog (even a soy dog) since I was 7 years old. And I don't plan to any time soon. So why would I go to a hot dog place?
Wellllllllllllllll - as of late, the Lunch Box has been offering Korean tacos as a special, and they have a vegan tofu taco!! Whaaaa? Do I live in LA? Who would have thought that Las Vegas would ever get in on the vegan KT action?
And it is ridiculously good. I think about it a lot. Perfectly grilled cubes of tofu in a luscious marinade served up in a soft warm corn tortilla and topped with kimchee, sesame seeds and green onions. At 2/$4 (served with a side of edamame), how can you beat this?! I'm a bit of a piggy pig, and I was comfortably full. I considered going back for more, even though I was pretty full, just b/c they were THAT GOOD. They also had a bulgogi (meat) taco.
Vegans and vegetarians - the soy dogs are vegan, but the buns have egg, and they helpfully acknowledge that on their menu board.
I heard good things about the turkey chili dog from my omnivorous companion.
Follow them on Twitter or FB to find out when they have the specials like the tacos!! Worth a visit even if you're not a dog fan!
