Confessions of a Food Truck Driver
Posted by Heather Magee |
As you may know, Luvo joined the legion of New York City food trucks in August and we’ve been having a ball getting to know our customers in and around NYC. One of the most interesting aspects of running a food truck is the fascinating people you meet each day, so we thought it might be fun to interview two of our favorite local food trucks here in Vancouver, BC (Luvo Headquarters) to get the skinny right from the source.
The Tastiest Ways to Celebrate World Vegetarian Day
Posted by Jessica G. |
October 1st is World Vegetarian Day, and kicks off a full month of vegetarian awareness around the globe. Unlike all those other questionable food holidays that seem to come out of nowhere (apparently, my birthday falls on National Shrimp Scampi Day), this one has been going strong since 1977 and aims to bring awareness to the benefits of eating more vegetables and less meat.

Coffee. Oh coffee. You are the joy in my morning commute, the warmth during cold winter months and a lifesaver when I need to stay alert (like while writing this blog post).

You may not know this, but Luvo headquarters is tucked away in Richmond, BC, Canada (a suburb of Vancouver) surrounded by lots of family-run farms and local markets. In this corner of the world, we’re known for growing blueberries and cranberries, which thrive in the peaty soil here.
Because of the moisture in our soil – as Richmond sits slightly below sea level – various fruits grow wild around the area. Over the summer, the Luvo team discovered an apple tree that is now beautifully ripe to pick. We also found rose hips and enough blackberries to bake about one hundred pies (no exaggeration). But the best find of all has been the figs.
