Vegan BBQ Sides

Purple Carrot Launched a New Summer BBQ Menu

— July 15, 2024 — Lifestyle
Purple Carrot's summer BBQ menu is a delightful twist on classic BBQ fare. The menu features vegan versions of traditional BBQ sides like Creamy Mac and Cheese and Potato Salad.

Purple Carrot will launch its inaugural Chicago-style hot dog kit on July 17th, perfectly timed for National Hot Dog Day. This special hot dog features Upton’s Up Dog, a delectable and guilt-free option that caters to flexitarians and food enthusiasts alike. The Chicago-style hot dog is topped with a delightful array of condiments, including yellow mustard, sweet relish, yellow onion, dill pickle spears, Roma tomato, sport peppers, poppy seeds, and celery salt. It's a true celebration of flavors that captures the essence of Chicago's iconic hot dog tradition.

Notably, Purple Carrot’s Chicago Dog has 100% less cholesterol, 50% less fat, 85% less saturated fat, and 30% less sugar.
