If you’ve been down to Screwbean Brewing, you’ll notice a vintage trailer parked in the front parking lot — decked out in neon lights, shiny chrome, and old-school vibes.
What’s happening on the inside of the mobile diner at 103 N. Park Ave. #101 is where the real treasure is, though. Substance Diner has created a vegan chicken sandwich that even meat lovers can’t get enough of.
It’s called the Spicy Fricken Sandwich and, if you haven’t already, you’ve got to bite into its crunchy goodness sooner rather than later.
Between the sesame seed Kaiser roll bun is a scratch-made seitan cutlet, which is made of wheat gluten and is then crusted in hot spices and deep-fried. On top of the savory cutlet is shredded lettuce, organic tomato, dill pickles, Frankenaise (spicy vegan mayo).
If you’re in the mood for an appetizer beforehand or while biting into the sandwich, consider ordering the Fried Pickles — arguably the best fried pickles in town.
The food truck is open at Screwbean Brewing from 4 – 8 p.m. on Monday – Friday and 11 a.m. – 8 p.m. Saturday – Sunday. Also, you can order online before you get there!
Substance Diner is located at 103 N. Park Ave. #101, right behind Screwbean Brewing. For more information, follow Substance Diner on Instagram or visit substancediner.com.
