Modern Shaman
Whittier
To be frank (pun intended), we know that not everyone is a fan of hot dogs. That’s why we thought we’d include a corndog in the mix! Modern Shaman’s Happy the Corndog (yep, that’s really the name of the menu item) is made up of a vegan hotdog that’s coated in a nutrition-pumped hemp seed cornmeal batter and fried on a stick. OMG! You can also add cheese sauce! Modern Shaman is open for pickup and delivery Wednesdays-Fridays from 3-8pm and Saturdays and Sundays from 12-8pm.
