![]() Q1: Sunrise, what is the first food and/or drink you reach for to start your “Veggie Girl Power” day? Let’s meet “Mama Bird” of the SeaBirds!.Ģ011 Veggie Girl Power Series Interview: Stephanie Morgan It was proof positive that where ever you may find yourself, vegan deliciousness is just a recipe away. ![]() It was inspiring to watch the ladies find veggie inspiration in every new town they arrived in. Stephanie and her team, including the talented Nicole & Raya, definitely held their own as they battled head to head with mainstream, meat and cheese-loving food trucks. Last summer, the SeaBirds gave us a real vegan reason to watch Food Network when they were contestants on The Great Food Truck Race. On the menu: last week the menu featured delicious local Zucchini Watercress Soup, Waldorf Salad, cinnamon Dusted Sweet Potato Fries, Beer Battered Avocado Tacos, Jack Asada Tacos, Yellow Cashew Curry and Orgainic Vegan Cupcakes. Stephanie says about why she started SeaBirds: “This truck came to life with a dream and a desire: A dream for vegan street food, and a desire to provide healthy, local food that’s convenient and fairly priced … I started Seabirds because I wanted to make a difference not only in the lives of the people of Orange County, but in the world we love and live in.” ~Stephanie (And yes, there are a few other awesome vegan food trucks nationwide like Cinnamon Snail in the NYC area). Stephanie Morgan answered that question for the lucky residents and visitors of Orange County California when she founded SeaBirds. Food trucks went from lunch-hour back-up-plans to “stand-in-line-for-hours-just-to-get-a-bite” hot spots.īut the question for me was, “Where are all the vegan food trucks?” Recipe to plate.Īnd over the past few years when I lived in NYC, I saw how the popularity, mainstream appeal and trendiness of food trucks really boomed. Passion and enthusiasm for food served up in each dish. With their creative, ever-changing, locally-inspired menus, mobile addresses and social-networking savvy. As a food blogger, food trucks fascinate me. Not only is the SeaBirds truck famous for being a beloved, vegan-eats staple of Orange Country, California – but SeaBirds also gained nation-wide fame last summer when Stephanie and her team competed on season two of Food Network’s reality show: The Great Food Truck Race, with host Tyler Florence. A few years later they had us back where we competed and came in second on Food Network CAKE WARS in 2016.Next up in my 2011 Veggie Girl Power Interview Series is the owner and founder of SeaBirds vegan food truck, Stephanie Morgan. Not only was it an honor to be chosen, but it was a thrill to bring home a win!!!!!! (winning episode Season 6 "angry birds"). Then 4 months later Food Network called us back for a second appearance on the hit show Cupcake Wars where we were finalists. In March of 2011 we launched "Georgie" our Cupcake Truck! Since then, we were asked to be on Food Network Cupcake Wars. This is when we decided that a cupcake truck was in order. "What if we did this" or "what if we add that" became some very common phrases. ![]() With the two of us in the kitchen, we started experimenting with cupcakes and different flavor combinations. Not long after he found a knack for carving and sculpting cake! Jason is quite the artist! So baking was is in his blood. Jason began helping me with some of the baking and building cake stands and bases for my cakes. Jason often enjoyed making breads, pastries and his favorite- cookies! His grandfather Art was a baker for 40+ years. Word got out and orders started coming in.Īs requests for cakes grew, so did my husbands interest. I played around with different techniques and learned in our home kitchen. It became another form of media for me! Then I started to make the cakes for friends and family. My mom use to make cakes for our family and friends and I started helping her.I was hooked. ![]() Painting, sculpting, and creating with mixed media has always inspired me. This crazy cake adventure all started with my love for art. ![]()
