A vast majority of the vegan, vegetarian and plant-based population are demanding fast food options from causal chains that are as delicious as the options presented to those that eat meat, and Grub is responding by partnering with Beyond Meat to offer diners a delicious, meat-free alternative.
According to executive chef Cliff Wright, “We take burgers seriously, and our partnership with Beyond Meat has allowed us to create a plant-based burger on par with the level of burgers our guests have come to know and love.” According to the brand, these burgers will feature the mouth-watering plant-based patty, alongside grilled tomato, arugula, fried onions and swiss cheese. All of these toppings are served on a white bun.
