# Meat-Free Meatball Subs The Paradise Garden Grill's New Sub is Made with the Impossible Burger By Katherine Pendrill | Published 2018-03-11 | Lifestyle Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/paradise-garden-grill References: [foodbeast](https://www.foodbeast.com/news/dca-no-meatball-sub-impossible/) With a growing number of consumers going meat-free, [Disney's](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/impossible-foods-product) [Paradise Garden Grill](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/party-pack-and-paradise-pack) is serving up a tasty new vegetarian sandwich option. Though it may look -- and even taste -- like the real thing, this faux meatball sub is completely free of animal products. The new 'No Meatball Sub' from the Paradise Garden Grill at Disney's California Adventure is a meat-free sandwich made with The Impossible Burger, which is a 'bleeding' vegan patty. The juicy patty is then combined with cheese, eggs, and seasonings to create tender meatballs. Finally, the meatballs are coated in marinara sauce and topped with real mozzarella to create a mouth-watering vegetarian sub sandwich. By incorporating products from [Impossible Foods](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/impossible-meatballs-made-from-plants) into its menu, Disney is taking a major step forward in expanding its plant-based offerings.
