Sinful Southern Eats
We put our spin on the "Dirty vegan lifestyle" by using wholesome ingredients without compromising flavor or satisfaction.
Each and every recipe has been tweaked and perfected over decades. Our goal is to authentically replicate southern cuisine to such an extent that neither carnivore nor the strictest vegan and everyone in between can discern between our plant version and the one that contains animal products.

2026 Summer Dirty Lettuce Menu
Our menu is entirely PLANT-BASED and NUT-FREE! We make our seitans in-house daily with vital wheat gluten, which guarantees fresh protein-rich goodness, but produces a degree of cross-contamination that makes our premises unsafe for celiacs. Please exercise caution if you are gluten intolerant.

About Us
From the haunted cotton fields of the Mississippi Delta to the rollicking streets of New Orleans and bayous of Louisiana, my first 18 years were a study in the history, culture and of course food of these places. Jackson Mississippi is where I was born and from birth unschooled in every sense of the word, never stepping foot inside a schoolhouse. It was this free spirited nature that also led my parents to raise us vegan/vegetarian in the heart of the meat centric south.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions about our food!
Is anything Gluten-Free?
Unfortunately not. We make our seitans in-house daily with vital wheat gluten, which guarantees fresh protein-rich goodness, but produces a degree of cross-contamination that makes our premises unsafe for celiacs. Please exercise caution if you are gluten intolerant.
Are there other allergens?
Our menu is entirely VEGAN, PLANT-BASED, and NUT-FREE! That means no animal products of any kind. We do use gluten and soy in some of our ingredients.
What's with the name?
After gaining a clear understanding of how our planet’s biosystems function, it became abundantly obvious that our society’s level of resource consumption is wildly unsustainable. Enter Dirty Lettuce, a vegan food business with the goal to appeal to everyone, especially carnivores! Plant based food should tantalize the senses and deliver the most satisfying experience possible.
