According to recent reporting in Eater, Double Trouble will be adjusting its menu after a split between owners Travis Kizer of Barrett’s Coffee and Chris Rios of Vegan Nom. The restaurant will now be operating without Mr. Rios.
Double Trouble opened in June, serving up Mr. Rios’s vegan tacos alongside Kizer’s coffees and cocktails. Eater reports that “signs that the partnership was on the outs began in September when a Double Trouble Instagram story revealed that the once only-vegan restaurant was now serving non-vegan tacos.”
“In response, on Monday, September 25, Vegan Nom shared with followers in a post on its Instagram account that it was “no longer affiliated” with Double Trouble,” the report continues.
“Vegan Nom owner Chris Rios added in the same post that he was ‘ousted by our Double Trouble business partners and [was] no longer working with this group. We’re working out the details for a full buyout.’”
Travis Kizer told Eater, “We have decided to part ways with Chris, but the concept is moving forward and growing,” emphasizing that the vegan portions of the menu are still important, adding that the establishment would be “staying serious in our commitment to making delicious vegan food.”
