You may not find this review helpful unless you are a vegetarian. However, this is an important topic to me because as I have been a vegetarian for over three years now. I have grown accustomed to worrying about what foods I will be able to eat when going out to a restaurant.
This apprehension is multiplied tenfold when going to a fast food chain. There’s always fries but most places cook them right along with meat products or have meat flavoring on them. My favorite places to eat out as a vegetarian are taco bell, Subway and Burger King.
Burger King is a recent addition to my fast food choices. They have recently added a veggie burger to their extensive menu. This has made me and other vegetarians I know very happy. Unlike the veggie burger that McDonald’s offers in New York it is actually yummy. The veggie burger offered at Burger King has the usual toppings. It has lettuce, tomato and low fat mayonnaise (which is very yummy by the way.) You can chose whether or not to get your veggie burger with cheese. I recommend it with cheese but then again I am a certified cheese addict!! Another good thing about Burger King is that their fries are not made with beef flavoring (unlike McDonald’s fries which are.)
My only problem with Burger King is that one time a friend of mine and I went to Burger King for some veggie burgers. I had raved about them to her so she wanted to try them out. We get to my house with our wonderful meals. We open them up and there’s two chicken sandwiches. We check our receipts and they both say veggie burger. We even heard the guy who took our order call out veggie burgers into this microphone. The chicken sandwiches are even wrapped in “veggie burger” wrappers! How misleading!
So although their veggie burgers are delicious I would check your order before you leave (no matter what you have ordered) just to make sure you received the correct items. It’s only happened once so I still recommend burger king for a yummy vegetarian meal on the go. This is very good for vegetarians on the go or on a long road trip. It’s just exciting to see a fast food chain take vegetarians seriously enough to add non-meat items to their menu.
