Popeyes is set to debut its very first plant-based menu option, and it was revealed to be a vegan burger. The chicken restaurant chain is known for its Louisiana-style food offerings, and it has added a new item that vegans will surely enjoy.
Popeyes is not just famous for its deep-fried fried chicken, but it is also a favorite for its chicken burgers, biscuits, and other fixings. Now, it will also start offering something new that is expected to become the next most-ordered item.
The American fast-food chain will be launching its plant-based burger in the United Kingdom, and this is a first in the region. The new vegan sandwich will be on the menu starting Nov. 20 at Popeyes restaurant outlet in Westfield Stratford. London. It was said that Popeyes would also be expanding in the U.K., and in the next ten years, the company is aiming to open at least 350 new restaurants in the region.
At any rate, according to LiveKindly, the new Popeyes vegan burger will feature a breaded fried red bean patty topped with tomato and lettuce. It will be drizzled with a Creole-style sauce made from a mixture of parsley, tomato, onion, garlic, and peppers. The burger will be served in Brioche bun.
Also, it was noted that unlike its rivals such as McDonald’s and Burger King, Popeyes would not be using burger patties from American meat alternative producers such as Impossible Foods and Beyond Meat, but rather, it will make its own blend using two of its popular sides - rice and red beans.
Finally, Vegconomist further noted that Popeyes’ version of vegan burger is a bit different compared to others being sold in fast-food chains, but this is what makes it more appealing to customers. Many fast-food diners today tend to look for healthier options, so the arrival of the plant-based sandwich at Popeyes is a good move.
Customers will truly appreciate this addition of new vegan food items, especially those health enthusiasts or vegans who are missing the taste of meat. Popeyes plant-based burger may not replicate the exact taste of real meat, but this animal-free option in the U.K. branch is already a big treat.
