Your National Burger Day Run-down: Which Top Chains are Flipping—Or Skipping—Plant-Based Patties

Mercy For Animals is set to release a report on the best and worst U.S. burger chains offering plant-based burgers. The report highlights the top chains like Bareburger, BurgerFi, Red Robin, Burger King, and Shake Shack, which provide delicious plant-based options as part of their menus. These chains lead the charge for a better food future by offering a variety of plant-based patties, sides, and beverages.

On the other hand, chains like Five Guys, Checkers, Steak N Shake, McDonald's, and Wendy's have no plant-based or vegetarian burger options. This lack of plant-based patties represents a missed opportunity for these chains to keep up with consumer trends, sustainability, and animal ethics. Plant-based burgers not only offer a healthy protein source with essential fiber and no cholesterol but also spare animals from suffering. Consumers are encouraged to support chains offering plant-based options this National Burger Day to promote compassion and sustainability in the food industry.
