Vegan Fast Food Patties

Carl’s Jr.'s Beyond Famous Star Burger is Made with a Beyond Meat Patty

— January 4, 2019 — Lifestyle
Vegans rejoice because Carl's Jr. just debuted a new Beyond Famous Star Burger featuring a patty created by Beyond Meat. Not only can you enjoy this juicy new vegan burger, but you can also swap the beef patty in any Carl’s Jr. sandwich for a vegan one for just $2.

The new Beyond Famous Star Burger is a plant-based take on the chain's original Famous Star Burger. The vegan version is made with Beyond Meat’s new Beyond Burger 2.0 patty. The new burger consists of a charbroiled quarter-pound vegan patty topped with American cheese, tomato slices, lettuce, sliced onions, dill pickles, special sauce, and mayonnaise. Of course, those who want to keep the burger vegan can have the cheese and mayo left off.

Free of GMOs, gluten and soy, low in saturated fat, and packed with a whopping grams of protein, the new Beyond Famous Star Burger is great for vegans and flexitarians alike.
