The brainchild of model-turned-model-citizen Mitchell Collier, the Green Truck boasts environmental consciousness. The trucks run on recycled vegetable oil and tote around biodegradable packaging and serving ware. The food—sustainable, local and organic—is prepped at the company’s solar-powered Culver City commissary. Former A.O.C. cook Beth Creasey created the menu, a combination of healthy fast food (grass-fed burgers, veggie dogs) and vegetable-driven specialties. The Mother Trucker, not as naughty as its delicious name, is a vegan burger with avocado, tomato, sprouts and tempeh bacon. Healthful drinks round out the green-spirited menu, including a diverse selection of kombucha and house-made Moroccan mint lemonade sweetened with raw agave nectar.
The company is often reserved for commercial shoots and festivals but can be regularly found in Venice or Culver City during breakfast and lunch service for the public. The website posts daily schedules, as well as a nifty GPS tracker if you’re looking to hunt a truck down by the second. Deliveries are also available to specified ZIP codes for a minimum order. If things proceed accordingly, finding the goods won’t be such a cat-and-mouse game: Collier has plans to expand his fleet from two to 20 environmental envoys. More info at www.greentruckonthego.com.
