Sausage Party!

5 stars — SF ‘oddity’, local culture, vegan grrls
If you decide to spend the afternoon at the park in SF find the Sausage Party girls to find the finest and most healthiest comfort food sold off the back of a bicycle in all of San Francisco. Then fall into vegan hot dog coma bliss on the hill with the rest of the fans.
Looking around you’d think it’s a ‘scene’ but its totally not… we stopped by while we were on vacation and felt very welcome. Its tough finding these girls sometimes (they should have a twitter account) so don’t give up if they aren’t there. Try again some another time! i only mention it’s an oddity because if you aren’t from the left coast or are typically unhealthy this wonderful food cart will seem very odd to you.
bonus: bi-​rite across the street ftw

San Francisco Vegan Sausagefest ’09 got off to a rough start, thanks to the non-​appearance of the Sausage Party cart in Dolores Park.
You can imagine our disappointment after reading such reviews as the one from Laura B: «The only bad thing about this cart is that it’s not parked on my face.»
But when we got to the freezing park, we found no one but dog-​walkers and Girl Scouts peddling decidedly non-​vegan cookies.
It was too cold even for the gays to get a decent tan. (When I say cold, I mean by Los Angeles standards, which are, apparently, wimpy. The San Franciscans were wearing shorts.) So, no sausage parties in any corner of the park.
The sausage ladies could at least have posted a notice on their Myspace page so as not to disappoint the out-​of-​towners.
I feel a little bad giving a sausage cart attached to a bicycle such a low review. Maybe they got a flat tire? But not that bad; I was hungry for sausage and it was a long damned walk to Dolores Park, and then a long, cold, sad walk home, empty-​handed.

Vegan hotdog vendors.
Where. Have. You. Been. All. My. Life.
Run by two chicks and a dog, I found after pigging out monstrously on two sausages, I was finally satiated — for now — the urge to eat vegan hotdogs. Super delish. Not so cheap though. Like 5 dollars a pop. Yikes.
They neglected to give the bf his fried chips when they gave me some. Weird. Great place to hit up but the hours are not definite because I came by on Friday (Fourth of July) and they were nowhere to be found! Bogus! Their reasoning? «We just felt like being lazy.»
Righteous. Just wish they had someway of communicating hours to peeps who come across the city just to eat their food.

homemade onions, homemade ketchup, and I heard they’re considering going into homemade relish. I vote sweet pickles, please.
Vegan hot dogs are the best, and these two geniuses have capitalized on the demand. Their bicycle cart is the cutest, awesomest bicycle-​based contraption I’ve ever seen; if they wore costumes from, say, The Umbrellas of Cherbourg, you wouldn’t be able to look directly at them (like the sun, only visible when obscured by lesser bodies). We could all afford to be more stylish on a sunny day in the park, where everyone’s losing their shit for someone else’s cute-​to-​death dogs. Better to class it up with a vegan hot dog from the Sausage Party ladies (plus a tiny bag of chips!), sit on top of a hill in the shade and observe everyone’s precious doggies. The smell of your lunch will prove irresistible and the adorable dogs will come to you, thus preserving your dignity and satiating your need for sustenance and cute-​dog-​worship. It’s that easy.
Minus one star because I don’t much care for the taste of Field Roast brand vegan sausages; Tofurkey polish sausage kind are really the tops, but, oh well. We are lucky to have such enterprising brilliance in our (collective) backyard. (Especially people with ethics who don’t act like the Earth revolves around bacon. Fucking selfish jerks.)

The only bad thing about this cart is that it’s not parked on my face. In other words: i want to eat it out. with vegannaise.

The Sausage Party rocks! Great vegan hot dogs with tons of homemade condiments like pesto, spicy mustard, sun-​dried tomatoes, grilled onions and more! Two awesome girls with there cute dogs on a red bike… Can’t be beat on a gorgeous day in Dolores Park.

DUDE FIELD ROAST VEGAN SAUSAGES ROCK.
(…especially an hour and a half after you accidentally reach into a bag full of the Truffle Guy’s truffles that had melted in your pocket, thus covering your hand in stoney-​truffley goodness, which you have no choice but to lick off since the alternative is to try to wash your hands in the Dolores Street bathroom which you are definitely not going to do, if only because you don’t want to walk in front of a bunch of half-​naked San Franciscans looking like you stuck your hand in dogshit. Don’t even act like you haven’t done this.)
These kids make delicious food, have attached a bike to a hot dog stand, and are adorable in that I-ride-a-fixie-but-I’m-not-as-scary-as-a-bike-messenger kind of way. For serious: even anti-​substitute meat snobs will like their faux-​fu (’cause it’s a tofu substitute, get it? Everyone please start using this joke. It was a throw-​away line on «King of the Hill» like ten million years ago) dogs.
Also they don’t take truffles in trade, so carry cash (I asked).

Have you every looked longingly at those hot dog carts in the Mission and wished that there was a healthier, meatless variety so you wouldn’t have to feel guilty about your drunken indulgences? Or maybe the craving strikes you occasionally in the daytime, when the carts are nowhere to be found?
Well, here comes Sausage Party to the rescue!
They are two hot chicks on a red and white bicycle hot dog cart, serving up hot, tasty vegan sausages. Yes, VEGAN sausages! I’d actually never had a vegan sausage before (unless you count those frozen ones from the grocery store), but I took a risk and tried one today. I got it with grilled onions, vegan mayo, and homemade ketchup. Yum! It didn’t taste like it was pretending to be meat, which was good, and I think they said it was grain based (for those of you with something against soy).
They’re in Dolores Park on the weekends for now, and I think they’ll be branching out soon and parking their cart in the Mission some nights, so be on the lookout.
