    All of them. Probably because they don’t sell well. I know you saw them everywhere and now I don’t.

    I really would like a patty that doesn’t pretend to be meat. Something like old-school veggie patties from the pre-Yves, pre-Beyond era. More of a veggie fritter, I suppose.

    I know people want the meat-burger experience, and that’s fine. I’d like an option that doesn’t resemble meat.

    A guilty pleasure of mine is the Ikea veggie dog with cabbage and fried onions and mustard. Kinda like that.

      I’m with you on this. It seems that the prevailing idea is that if we don’t eat meat that we miss it or want a direct replacement. So they keep trying to make “fake meat”. That might appeal to some people on the fence about it, but I haven’t eaten meat in over 2 decades. I don’t miss it. I don’t want my food to taste like it. I don’t want it to look like it. I want something tasty that an animal didn’t have to suffer for.

      There is a place near me called “Indian Burger Joint” which does something like this. Super tasty and great variety of different Indian flavours and styles.

      Not restaurant, but Costco sells a large pack of Morning Star farms BlackBean Burgers, and they are delicious…too bad a fastfood place hasn’t picked these up for the menu

    A&W Canada makes a great non-meat burger. It’s just called the Beyond Meat burger. I like it a lot.

    I like the Harvey’s veggie burger. It’s kind of old school, predating all the new plant-based ones, but it hits the spot for me and often goes on sale in the app.

    I wish we had an Odd Burger where I live. My daughter and her vegan boyfriend are always saying great things about it.

      They sometimes have whole wheat buns, but you have to ask. I love Harvey’s. Non-Canadians are missing out on it.

        I only remember going to Harvey’s once, probably because the only one I ever saw was inside a Home Depot, but it seems like they left BC completely quite a while ago.

        Yeah I always get that bun! If you go often, I strongly recommend the app. It remembers previous orders and what sort of toppings you like on your burger. It takes around 10 minutes to prepare it, so if you order before you head out, it will usually be ready by the time you get there. Also, you can get Scene points towards your next movie.

    Because nobody wants them.

      Because nobody wants them.

      Then how is it possible that the vegan fast food market is worth over $18 billion this year, projected to continue to grow to nearly $30 billion in the next 10 years?

      The demand is there, 100%.

      But I’ll also say that I’ve been vegan for over two decades and rarely get fast food. I have no incentive, personally. I’m sure the market would be much larger if they could reach people like me.
