Husband and wife owners Antoine and Michael Harris will continue to operate out of the food truck kitchen for now.

Moody Mike’s participated in the annual SoulFeast Black Restaurant Week June 17-23 and will serve “Henny butter shrimp” on a bed of rice and arugula as well as other vegan specials.

The food regularly has diners asking, “Are you sure this is vegan?” with lookalikes (and taste-alikes) such as “bone-in” wings, “chicken” and dumplings and Little Debbie-style vegan oatmeal “creme pies.”

The cafe plans to add hours and menu items and eventually will be serve breakfast, lunch and dinner, Michael Harris said.
