# Plant-Based Beef Burgers Native Foods is Serving Up a New Vegan Burger Called the 'Basic B(urger)' By Katherine Pendrill | Published 2022-09-01 | Lifestyle Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/basic-burger References: [qsrmagazine](https://www.qsrmagazine.com/news/native-foods-next-chefs-special-basic-burger)  Native Foods is celebrating the start of September with the launch of a new vegan burger called the 'Basic B(urger).' The latest Chef’s Special of 2022, the Basic B(urger) is a vegan-friendly take on a classic American burger. Instead of a beef patty, the new burger features a plant-based patty. The patty is then paired with sliced red onion, tomato, lettuce, pickles, and vegan mayo – all served on a toasted hamburger bun. As for a side dish, you can choose from options like steamed kale, or upgrade to a premium side like the brand's new garlic parm fries. The new Basic B(urger) is available all of September with a new Chef's Special launching on October 1, 2022.
