Quantcast Vegetarian StarTim McIlrath Of Rise Against Talks Burger King’s Progress

KROQ Weenie Roast Y Fiesta 2008

The all veg band Rise Against likes to have a little fun while searching for food on tour, like using scooters to get them to eateries of their choice.

Life may have gotten easier for them to find veg food on the road, especially in comparison to rockers before their time, like Tom Schultz and Boston.

Lots of mainstream grocery stores have little “island” sections of food for vegans and vegetarians now and it’s not uncommon to find a Gardenburger patty at many restaurants. Even fast food chains are complying.

Band member Joe Principe has spoken about how he thinks the vegan chicken patty at Kentucky Fried Chicken in Canada is “amazing.” Now Tim McIlrath is expressing his astonishment about another fast food establishment, Burger King.

“If you would have told me when I was 17 years old that Burger King was going to have a veggie burger, I would have told you that you were crazy,” McIlrath said in an interview.

Luckily, we’re not crazy (at least according to the test that we know lots of restaurants carry veg options) and there’s a good chance if you’re out and about you won’t go hungry thanks to veg options at places like Subway. Is there a fast food or mainstream restaurant where you can find awesome meatless (and maybe even dairyless) grub?

Tell us so everyone can make mental maps of where to stop while driving in the middle of Lake Nowhere to Somewhere.
