Why does Lord of the Fries not serve meat?

We are concerned about the environment, the welfare of animals and the health of our fellow humans. Meat and the meat industry is bad for all three of those things, for which we care deeply for.

Yes, but at your own risk. Our kitchen is not gluten-free so cross-contamination can occur, but we do offer some products that are gluten free* like some of the big burgers, some sauces and the fries.

What’s The Beyond Burger™

The Beyond Burger™ is the world’s first plant-based burger that looks, cooks, and tastes like a fresh beef burger. It has all the juicy, meat deliciousness of a traditional burger, but comes with the upsides of a plant-based meal. The Beyond Burger™ packs 20 g of plant-based protein and has no GMOs, soy or gluten.

Why are vegan patties trying to replicate meat?

Our belief is that the best way to get people to eat less meat is by giving them what they love – in this case, a juicy delicious burger – without so many of the health, sustainability, and animal welfare downsides of a traditional animal-based burger.

Why are vegan patties red?

Well, we used beets to do that! Amazing, right! We wanted to keep the whole experience of cooking burgers as similar as possible for our flexitarian fans, so we’ve worked very hard to create a burger that changes colour as you cook it just like animal protein.

What kind of protein do you use?

The primary source of protein in The Beyond Burger™ comes from peas. It’s soy, gluten and GMO free.

Why does the beyond patty “Bleed”?

While we didn’t design The Beyond Burger™ to “bleed” per se, the beets we use to give the patty a red-meat appearance have led some in the media to remark that the burger “bleeds” beet blood.

What is in vegan burgers?
