Vegetarian Star

Phil Mickelson casually said he was working on a veggie burger with Five Guys Burger and Fries restaurant, a franchise he bought the rights to before becoming vegetarian.

A Q & A session with readers at Golf.com reveals he is indeed serious about this, but who knows when Lefty will make it happen. Until then, don’t forget there are several fast food chains that already offer vegetarian patties. No, they aren’t perfect. Many aren’t vegan. Some of them are cooked on the same surface as meat. But if you happen to wander into an establishment during its quieter hours and ask politely, they may clean the grill or toast it in a separate pan or throw it in the microwave.

If you can endure Johnny Rockets singing waiters, there’s a Streamliner patty waiting for you–a Boca Burger with grilled onions, shredded lettuce, tomatoes, pickles and mustard.

Burger King disappointed some when it changed its BK Veggie patty from a vegan one to a Morningstar Farms vegetarian Garden Veggie Patty. But vegans should at least be thankful their fast food vegetarian brothers and sisters haven’t had their option taken off the menu completely.

Fatburger restaurants also put Boca Burgers on the menu, sliding them strategically between two whole wheat buns.

Finally, the most recent vegetizing of fast food is Denny’s adding Amy’s Kitchen frozen burgers as an option in their healthier menu items.

Is there a favorite fast food veggie burger you indulge in from time to time?
