Meati products are now on the menu at all 13 PLNT Burger locations across the east coast with the launch of two new sandwiches: the Crispy Chik’n Sandwich and the Spicy Crispy Chik’n Sandwich.
Perfect for meat eaters and vegetarians alike, both of the delicious new sandwiches are made with a Meati Crispy Cutlet, which is made from nutrient-rich mushroom root. The Crispy Chik’n Sandwich pairs the faux chicken with green leaf lettuce, pickles, and garden herb mayo on a potato bun. On the other hand, the Spicy Crispy Chik’n Sandwich pairs the plant-based patty with house-made hot sauce, plant-based pepperjack cheese, pickles, green leaf lettuce, and garden herb mayo on a potato bun.
Both of the new sandwiches will be available as of April 10, 2023.
