We’re getting together. YOU’RE invited!
Heal Mpls is in the 2026 Twin Cities Vegan Chef Challenge! They have an incredible dish entered in the competition that we’re holding a dine-out to try. We’ll also take a simple optional action together at the event to help animals, like calling our reps or signing a petition. After that, we’ll rate the food, and your rating will help us see how it stacks up against the many other restaurants in the competition!
🍜 What’s the food?
We’ll all be trying out Heal’s new Sushi Bae Bowl – a plant-based sushi-inspired bowl featuring marinated Roma tomato “tuna,” sweet & spicy sticky shroomies, pickled ginger, green onion, and toasted sesame seeds. The toppings are served over rice or quinoa for a delicious and gluten-free balance of umami, acid, heat, and texture.
Heal also offers a wide range of other foods on their plant-forward menu, and also offer a wide selection of herbal teas, community events, and meal prep. Just a sampling of their many vegan menu items include the Northside Nacho Dip, Fried Oyster Mushrooms, Okra & Onions, and the Holistic Baae Bowl with pineapple Caribbean-inspired chickpeas, sauteed collards, and fried plantains.
👨🏾🍳 What is the Twin Cities Vegan Chef Challenge?
Each August, restaurants around the Twin Cities add a new vegan dish to the menu. Diners visit restaurants and rate each dish they try. These ratings will be used to determine the winners!
We’ll crown the winning chef at a ceremony on Sunday, September 20, at Twin Cities Veg Fest at Harriet Island Park in Saint Paul.
