Hey family, it’s Rene from Vegan Heat — and y’all already know the pressure when it comes to our food
For the past few years, I’ve been grinding in shared kitchens and pop-ups all over the DFW area, serving dishes like our Fried Chicken Sandwiches, Rasta Pasta, and Chopped BBQ Rib Sandwich — all made with love, culture, and heat.
Now, it’s time for the next step: our own home base in Dallas.
This space will let me:
• Cook more consistently and expand the menu
• Cut wait times for online orders
• Offer pickup, catering, and private dining more often
• Keep creating new vegan food that hits like comfort food should
The goal is to raise $5000+ to help with:
• First month’s location deposit
• Kitchen equipment and setup
• City of Dallas permits and fees
• Basic renovations to get the space ready
If you’ve ever pulled up for a plate, shared a post, or told somebody “you gotta try Vegan Heat,” — this next move is for us.
Every donation, big or small, helps build something permanent that represents our community, culture, and love for this food.
Let’s make Dallas the official home of Vegan Heat.
Thank you for believing, sharing, and supporting — always.
With love and heat,
– Rene
