I'm purely giving Carl's Jr. this rating because they now carry the vegan Beyond Meat burger. But just give me this.
I'm not a vegetarian because I don't like burgers. I freaking love burgers. You know what else I love? Convenience. One of the hardest things about being vegetarian is that before now the option to just pull into a drive through and grab burgers and fries to take home when you're tired and lazy has been completely taken away. Before now our only options were really embarrassing:
At my beloved Whataburger, I have been known to get a burger without the meat patty then cook my own veggie patty at home. It's so, so sad. And expensive. Don't even get me started on when I ordered just fries, gravy and toast to create my own "chicken" tender basket at home.
But Carl's Jr has come to save the day by offering the Beyond Burger. For those that don't know the Beyond Burger, it's a vegan burger that really goes all out to replicate meat. It is really good, especially compared to a fast food burger Patty.
The other day I went to the drive thru, ordered burgers and fries then drove home. As Tim McGraw said, "Another supper, from a sack. A $.99 heart attack." But it's not another supper for me TIM! And it's not a heart attack either, because it's plant based so there wasn't any cholesterol in the patty! Go back to your loving and fulfilling marriage you jerk.
Whew, sorry to call out Tim like that. It needed to be done though.
Back to my burger, it was fantastic! The service was kind and quick. I ate it super fast, which is a compliment to the food and not an indictment of my manners and/or self control.
You pay a little premium for the beyond burger, but I don't mind. I won't get into what that says about the beef industry for fear of getting into it with Tim McGraw again. We all get it. Your stage presence is incredible. Just let all of us normies have our fast food dinners so we can spend more time with our families while you watch the grass grow. Geez.
