Serving veganized versions of classic comforts in Berkeley, California, Stand-Up Burgers appeals to those who love fast food but struggle to find suitable plant-based options through major chains. The O.G. burger, for example, is stacked with an Impossible patty and [Miyoko’s Creamery](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/liquid-vegan-pizza-mozzarella) cheddar, plus other must-haves like lettuce, tomato, red onion, pickles and special sauce on a vegan brioche bun. The Save the Animal-style fries is said to be a veganized version of In-n-Out’s famous fries and there are plenty of other choices on the menu, including onion rings, salads and shakes to satisfy vegans and non-vegans alike. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.0/10 - Popularity: 56% | Activity: 55% | Freshness: 9% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Lifestyle](https://www.trendhunter.com/lifestyle) > [Food](https://www.trendhunter.com/food) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Plant-based Fast Food:** Expanding the vegan fast food concept on a national scale can disrupt the food industry with a new way of promoting healthy eating. - **Vegan Comfort Food:** Incorporate advancements in plant-based technology to recreate popular comfort foods to cater to a new audience and address new markets cost-effectively. - **Vegan Fast Food Franchise:** Establishing vegan fast food franchise opportunities globally can cause disruption in the traditional fast food franchise industry with healthier, affordable vegan meal options. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Fast Food Industry:** Partnering with plant-based fast food concepts and offering vegan options can cause disruption in the traditional fast food industry, creating opportunities for businesses to address new markets and expand their customer base. - **Health and Fitness Industry:** Collaborating with vegan fast food companies to promote healthier options and educate consumers can be a game-changer in the health and fitness industry, providing potential for growth and consumer loyalty. - **Food Technology Industry:** Continuing to innovate and improve plant-based technology for vegan fast food concepts can provide opportunities for growth in the food technology industry, while promoting sustainable and ethical practices in food production. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Crispy Vegan Fish Burgers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vegan-fish-burger.md) - [Minimal-Ingredient Vegan Proteins](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/preposterous-foods.md) - [Mushroom-Based Restaurant Burgers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-beef-free-boy.md) - [Nostalgic Vegan Fast Food](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mr-charlies.md) - [Prepackaged Vegan QSR Foods](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/odd-burger-cpg-products.md) - [Plant-Derived Smash Burgers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/delicious-smash-burger.md) - [Virtual Vegan Bowl Menus](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vegan-bowls.md) - [Vegan Fast-Food Nuggets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vegan-chicken-nugget.md) - [Plant-Based QSR Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/shake-shack-5.md)
