I really would like a patty that doesn’t pretend to be meat. Something like old-school veggie patties from the pre-Yves, pre-Beyond era. More of a veggie fritter, I suppose.
I know people want the meat-burger experience, and that’s fine. I’d like an option that doesn’t resemble meat.
A guilty pleasure of mine is the Ikea veggie dog with cabbage and fried onions and mustard. Kinda like that.
There is a place near me called “Indian Burger Joint” which does something like this. Super tasty and great variety of different Indian flavours and styles.
I’m with you on this. It seems that the prevailing idea is that if we don’t eat meat that we miss it or want a direct replacement. So they keep trying to make “fake meat”. That might appeal to some people on the fence about it, but I haven’t eaten meat in over 2 decades. I don’t miss it. I don’t want my food to taste like it. I don’t want it to look like it. I want something tasty that an animal didn’t have to suffer for.
Not restaurant, but Costco sells a large pack of Morning Star farms BlackBean Burgers, and they are delicious…too bad a fastfood place hasn’t picked these up for the menu
A&W Canada makes a great non-meat burger. It’s just called the Beyond Meat burger. I like it a lot.
I don’t get why the report score them an F… Every beef burger can be subbed for beyond.
Based on prices most are falling behind on burgers. They’re fucked if they don’t change.
i hope they dont. fuck them.
I like the Harvey’s veggie burger. It’s kind of old school, predating all the new plant-based ones, but it hits the spot for me and often goes on sale in the app.
I wish we had an Odd Burger where I live. My daughter and her vegan boyfriend are always saying great things about it.
They sometimes have whole wheat buns, but you have to ask. I love Harvey’s. Non-Canadians are missing out on it.
I only remember going to Harvey’s once, probably because the only one I ever saw was inside a Home Depot, but it seems like they left BC completely quite a while ago.
Yeah I always get that bun! If you go often, I strongly recommend the app. It remembers previous orders and what sort of toppings you like on your burger. It takes around 10 minutes to prepare it, so if you order before you head out, it will usually be ready by the time you get there. Also, you can get Scene points towards your next movie.
Impossible Whopper is decent, at least it’s not a pile of grease like the meat version is.
I really liked Panda Express’s crunchy things they advertised as impossible chicken. Wish they still had them!
Yeah, I was never a fan of the Whopper for that reason, but the IW is pretty good!
I’d prefer my meat without seed oils.
What are you fries cooked in?
Be careful, I heard that having strong opinions on seed oils lowers your testosterone
Because nobody wants them.
Because nobody wants them.
Then how is it possible that the vegan fast food market is worth over $18 billion this year, projected to continue to grow to nearly $30 billion in the next 10 years?
The demand is there, 100%.
But I’ll also say that I’ve been vegan for over two decades and rarely get fast food. I have no incentive, personally. I’m sure the market would be much larger if they could reach people like me.
I want them…
They are falling because nobody buys them.
I used to work in a restaurant a few years ago and we did a large vegetarian/vegan menu roll out. Won awards, lots of coverage, was hugely successful in attention and praise, but sales wise it was a flop. As time went by, we slowly removed a thing here, a thing there, and no one complained.
The real issue is that the plant-based (vegan) foods are being asked for a very vocal, very tiny market segment.
