Burger King Answers Vegetarians Desires with Bk Veggie!!!

[Guest guest]

I have a Burger King on my college campus and I went in there today

for lunch and I thought, hum...lettuce, tomato,cheese and pickle on a

whopper bun...yum! Then I saw the sign for the New Bk Veggie.Boy did

I get looks ordering it but I was so happy to see it. I asked the

lady if it were at all Burger Kings or just on our campus and she

said that the regular ones had it before they did. I said, " Great,

now I can take my daughter to Burger King!!! " The BK Veggie was a

regular veggie burger with vegetables and grains with lettuce and

tomato and a bun. I like soy burgers better but I'm just happy to be

able to eat at a fast food restuarant that's thinking of vegetarian

needs. I even overheard the manager remind her workers that they

weren't suppose to serve the veggie with the 'meat spatula' and

unlike McDonalds, it's grilled so that it's not saturated with meat

oils and secretions!!! YEEHEWW!! I think my daughter and I will go

out over the weekend to get us a Bk Veggie burger!!!

Burger King in England has had the " bean burger " for years and years and i

have always wondered and been upset as to why they didn't have it here -

hooray!!

I've been reading about the BK veggie burger and there's a few things I thought

some people might want to know. Although the patty itself is vegan, the burger

is normally served with mayo (which can be left off), however, the bun

apparently contains a small amount of dairy. (The info about the bun came from

vegan.com, and they had people check and re-check to be sure.) Oh, and

according to BK, they won't be grilling the patties on a separate grill. So if

the idea of any stray beef drippings bothers anyone, you can request to have it

microwaved. I'm not trying to rain on anybody's parade, I just thought some

people would like to be aware.

That's great news! What area are you in? We (Detroit area) don't have

anything like that at McDonald's or BK.

Erik Marcus has said that if anyone finds a BK that will not microwave

the patty (and there have been several) then contact Vegan.com and he

will report it to BK management.

 

Here is the link to the article that speaks about it.
