At Subway, I've brought my own vegan cheese and asked them if they could add it and toast it before adding veggies and the lady taking my order was so sweet about it. She said "Even if I couldn't, the way you asked was so nice, I would've done it anyway."

[@alexiskis1503]

The time I went and asked they bitched me out and said it's against protocol. They told me to just use real cheese

[@Puertoricanbeauty22]

Alexis Kis you should have told them why you don’t eat it! Most people have no idea how much suffering the animals go through. It is our choice and people should be more accepting. I’m sorry they did that to you :(

[@kyrajohnston7718]

You calling Panda Express made me feel so awkward for you 😂

[@Sweetsimplevegan]

hahah

[@kyrajohnston7718]

@@Sweetsimplevegan Aww thanks for replying ❤😊

[@christinamata3405]

Panda Express is trash. Seriously. It's not worth the time you spent calling them.

[@kyrajohnston7718]

@@christinamata3405 Um I really like Panda Express (as a meat eater)

[@thenormallife1138]

Ikr😂

[@emblrr]

just be like "whats ur vegan stuff" lol u asking panda express was stressing meeeee

[@AmyLovesYou]

I just be thinking of stuff on the fly. Like.. can I get some fried broccoli, snow peas and tofu mixed in orange, general tao, or sweet and sour sauce with white rice, and 2-3 spring rolls please? Thank you. There are tons of other vegetables you could choose from. I have yet to find a Chinese chef whom has a problem with following instructions. The vast majority are more than eager to cook things the way you want them to. It does not hurt to mention that you're vegan, and don't consume animal products. This way you avoid the occasional chef putting scrambled eggs inside of fried rice, or something of the likes. This is where consistency comes in mind. Eat at the same place so that they get to know you.

[@OMGiGi]

Me too hahaha

[@mandi111408]

My bfs sis works at Panera and has looked through all the ingredients and this is my usual order- Spicy thai chicken salad - no chicken sub avocado or a Mediterranean veggie sandwich no cheese sub sourdough bread and add avocado... Seriously so good!!

[@kellykirkpatrick8978]

That seriously made no sense

[@LissaColleen]

Kelly Kirkpatrick that made perfect sense lol

[@margaritab.9848]

Thanks that helps out a lot. Newly vegan here so still trying to figure the foods lol you know, asking if there’s vegan options everywhere you go to eat loll I love it.

[@avanoelle5333]

Now their new bowls are so good. You can order them without yogurt and feta. Sooo good.

[@Mmmelisssa]

You can get the sweet onion sauce at Subway and it is bomb!

[@blackjetta530]

Melissa G yes! Game changer

[@misspeaches1144]

Sweet onion + mustard almost tastes like honey mustard to me 👌🏼

[@olivia4394]

Melissa G it’s the literal reason I get subway hahaha

[@Mikaylarasmussen]

Del Taco! They have beyond meat for their tacos now!!

[@QuincyDisneyVegan]

And their fries are vegan

[@emily042794]

Y'all could always get your food "for here" but bring your own to-go containers to take everything home so you don't have to feel weird about filming in public and create less waste :)

[@aliciay2224]

They would still waste water washing dishes, so I recommend just asking them to put it in your containers for you!

[@davidthescottishvegan]

The locations that don't provide vegan options will probably change if the consumer demand is there. If they don't someone may setup a vegan only fast food restaurant or takeaway to meet the demand. There's new options from store's, food manufacturers, restaurant's and takeaways appearing in the UK regularly.

[@nowwhat1434]

I don’t think this will ever happen. It seems to me that most vegans are health obsessed and super judgmental about food and therefore most aren’t going to fast food restaurants. There’s a large subset of vegans who even complain about folks eating vegan cheese and fake meats.

[@greenlimabean]

@@nowwhat1434 it already is changing. There is a plant based product burger sold at various fast food restaurants now, C and J has featured and drooled over many times. And veganism is slowly leaving being replaced by these fake meat animal tested products.

[@elijahculper5522]

David Mcgregor Maybe in bigger cities. If a vegan restaurant opened up near me, they’d probably get out of town.

[@laceyb.6617]

I called two Panda Express locations near me today and one said they have vegan options and the other said no. I also emailed Panda Express and they said all locations should now be using the reformulated recipes. Crazy how hard it is to get a straight answer!

[@DitloNio]

For subway, what I order is: white bread, skip meat, skip cheese, toasted a little bit, all of the vegetables, sweet onion dressing, and black pepper.

[@bubinkaluca]

OhNo Antonio Same 🙌🏻😄

[@smudge8882]

The sweet onion dressing is soooo good!

[@greengirl86]

I completely feel your pain because I also made a bunch of awkward phone calls to the Panda Express locations in my area earlier this month and nobody had any clue what I was talking about. And I live in LA! Which is usually the land of vegan foods! I hope we see those vegan options soon. I need the noodles!

[@AriS-mm9xk]

Allison Fox la is horrible for food all together lived there for 5 years and I lived in the grocery store because the food sucked ass 💯

[@katscandance]

@@AriS-mm9xk watttt? La has amazing food … especially compared to most other cities in the country. maybe ur not looking in the right places.

[@Livingracefully]

Just found your channel soo binge watching! I have to say I love how real you guys are, I just started a channel and hope to get to your level of comfort :) PS: Now I def need to try the french toast!

[@sewistnotsewer]

I really appreciate you guys doing these fast food videos. I'm an Uber driver and often end up eating on the road. You got me hooked on the vegan version of the Taco Bell crunch wrap in your last vid. Can't wait to try these new options!

[@Jaydit7]

I can't remember the last time I ate Fast Food, Vegan or otherwise. I live too far from town to just bop in for a sandwich. I really appreciate these videos since I share them with friends. Love your tats, Chris!!

[@Kx____]

yesss part 3 please! love this series, it's fun

[@itsjustmeallie9106]

What I love the most about my Panera is that in the store they have a composting bin for leftover food. It’s amazing!

[@melissaluna4512]

Love these videos! Keep them going there’s vegan options almost everywhere! Great ideals

[@alexisavila3024]

You and Chris are hands down my favorite vegan influencers just so yourself and I love it 💜

[@Sweetsimplevegan]

Alexis Avila you’re so sweet thank you!

[@Puertoricanbeauty22]

Add sweet onion sauce to the veggie sandwich from subway and get more on the side 😋 so good!

[@momichristensen133]

The lentil power bowl at Panera is AMAZING!!!! 😍😍

[@1SET8]

These vids are so helpful and fun! I actually LOVE the soba noodle bowl at Panera though! Anyone watching should definitely at least try it.

[@caitlynaasman284]

I work at Tim Hortons which if u don’t know, is a Canadian fast food chain. Not gonna lie, when you work in food service and it’s very busy, mess ups happen. Not trying to justify anything, just saying that shit happens, although it is best that you check

[@emilyadams9212]

We also have them in Maine haha (since central and northern Maine are basically Canada)

[@TheDanielle12345]

The lentil quinoa broth bowl is AMAZING! I get that every time I go to Panera. You really should try it!

[@dawndoyle371]

This was so helpful! Thank you. I knew about most of it, but not the bread bowl at Panera. Yum!

[@amickis]

Thanks for showing us there are vegan fast food options. I must admit, the calls to Panda Express and the Panera soup mishap had me lol. I would’ve been so aggravated. 😂

[@brecolbs9911]

Omg yessss, please make a recipe on the 10 veggie soup!!!! It looks so yummy. All your recipes are 👌🏽👌🏽👌🏽

[@MeganRara]

Hahaha I was laughing so hard when Chris had to repeat the question for Panda Express a million times

[@chicameowr]

The 10 veg is my fave!! Panera also gets my order wrong ALL the time! The soba is ok but needs to have stuff added like sesame oil or hot chili oil and soy sauce

[@Sweetsimplevegan]

chicameowr yeah I agree!! Byoso (bring your own sesame oil lol )

[@jessicacolon5265]

Thanks for the heads up on Panera. I love that place. GOing to have to try both these options.

[@Madss976]

It was so perfect bc after getting mad at the soup saying “mother --“ it cut to a commercial lmaoooo

[@maloriegrubbs4656]

Love yalls channel!

[@seciliafeliz]

I've tried the falafel at Subway in Connecticut! It's pretty good, just a bit dry. Just found your channel today! Love it!

[@sadderstar]

end of March here and Dallas, Tx also didn't make the cut for the eggplant tofu or any other vegan option. I was told that it was very unlikely for any stores in Texas to get it. Fun times being vegan in Texas..

[@Puertoricanbeauty22]

sadderstar I wish Texas would get more vegan options too :(

[@ralinna5138]

I wish Hawaii had a Panera. That bread bowl soup looked bomb! I cracked up so hard when Chris flipped his shit over the chicken noodle - I can relate 😂😂😂

[@gravyall0va]

Omg when I tried Panera I fell in love! Out of all the great places in the mainland, in and out, chick fil a, chipotle etc.. I wish Hawaii had Panera the most! There food is so soul fulfilling and delicious

[@smudge8882]

If it helps, there's a lot of good copycat recipes out there for their soups. :) I made the Ten Vegetable Soup at home and it was a much better deal! The serving sizes at Panera are super tiny 😭

[@Dreamysunshine23]

I was at Subway yesterday for the first time and I was so happy to get the falafel on the 9 grain with veggies and sweet onion dressing... It was so good! 😍

[@GiGi-fd6om]

The lentil quinoa bowl at Panera may not sound that great but it is! It's one of my favorite soups. So much flavor.

[@taylor2859]

i love these videos!

[@staciemurray514]

I think you could’ve gotten hash browns at BK too!

[@ldegley007]

That's what I was thinking and went to hunt why they wouldn't?

[@nickolerichey]

Their hash browns are the best! I think maybe it was more of a health choice for them not to order it 💁🏻‍♀️ Maybe cuz they deep fried? Idk.

[@jacquip965]

Maybe they didn't get hash browns because of cross contamination when they are fried.

[@staciemurray514]

The French toast sticks are deep fried and the waffle/crisscut fries in the last video are fried 🤷🏻‍♀️ who knows😉 just reminding him or anyone else that reads the comments that it’s an option🙂

[@rikkipoynter]

I think health choices kinda flew out the window when they decided to dedicate the day to fast food. :P

[@TheIan818]

Hahah you guys are so real. So down to Earth!!!

[@lylasanjose3320]

I haven’t been to Panera in years, but after seeing that bread bowl you had I drove straight over there and got it! 😝 I doctored it up with nooch, everything bagel seasoning and hot sauce, but it was good on it’s own also. 😊

[@jillyfelton]

Just a tip for everyone wanting to eat at Panera Bread! I have worked there for 2 years. The web page panera posts is not always accurate, cafes across the country make their breads and bagels differently. Always ask to see the nutritional book they have at the front to check! All of the salads are really easy to veganize, there’s always one vegan soup (black bean or vegetable soups). Then the edamame soba broth bowl that chris got, but I personally think the quinoa lentil bowl is better! Soba noodle bowl is best with Panera peanut sauce, or go home and put sriracha on it lol. And the best sandwiches to get are the Med Veg no feta or the Modern Caprese no pesto no cheese with any other sauces or veggies you like! I recommend extra basil, peppers, onions, and/or avocado :). Sorry they gave you chicken noodle guys I would’ve been pissedddd!

[@elleconnolly5519]

Love this video! I’m just starting a vegan diet, my doctor actually wants me to be on it. Nice to know if I’m out what I can choose for fast food

[@Nicki13Lover]

Subway used to be my hangover food back in college XD I still sometimes crave it after a night of drinks

[@Puertoricanbeauty22]

Nicki Loder lol mine was whataburger. Now that I’m vegan I can only get fries there :( I wish they had vegan options!

[@bushnellentertainment5759]

Awesome find in the French toast sticks! Next Yay road trip won't have a food melt down!!

[@karanewton696]

Just found your channel. I think this is really helpful. Random where did you get that wolf sweater. It looks comfy and I love the design.

[@edwardgately5931]

If you guys have Del Taco out there, they're going to be adding Beyond Meat tacos and burritos chainwide by the end of April.

[@brynnaduckett7212]

There was only 1 store in colorado that had the vegan malibu patty. It's up to the manager to order. I was super lucky that our manager (at the one we frequented) was vegan. When that manager moved, they didn't sell it anymore. It was similar to the dr. praegers burger flavor i think! I'm hopeful that panda express rolls out their vegan option. I'm in tiny town cali though.

[@misspeaches1144]

Brynna Duckett omg i thought i was crazy there was one day a long time ago i found the malibu patty at a random subway then never found it anywhere ever again. The manager there was indian so possibly he was conscious about veganism too!

[@ShelbyandJordan]

The falafel at Subway is great! If you’re in Australia you should definitely try Lord of the Fries, it’s literally bomb!

[@suewittlich2988]

I always bring the deli "delite" home and add hummus. Yum!

[@jacquip965]

Thanks for the info on Panera. It gives me an option since we recently got one in our area. Normally I have Subway when I don't want to cook.

[@cutchsilver6177]

Fun dialogue rhythm between you two. Cute at 11:49 when you agreed in unison, saying "mm-HMM."

Love it!! I go to Panera and get the vegan lentil quinoa and I can’t tell you how many times they have accidentally put an egg in it lol 😒

[@Marie-ut4ht]

I get panera sometimes and it's super easy to order online and customize stuff/swap things out, I ususally get the mediterranean salad which comes with kale/lettuce, almonds, I swap out the cheese for avocado, add extra quinoa, and use the fat free balsamic dressing and it's SO good! I've also had the soba edamame bowl and found it to be pretty bland

[@dallastolle8732]

At the BK I worked at they cooked the French toast in the same fryers chicken and fish were cooked in. Same for onion rings.

[@DitloNio]

I love that you guys care about the environment. 😍😍

[@broll41]

Panera used to have this amazing black bean soup that was vegan. It went away with the seasonal menu change and when they brought it back again, they added something to it and it’s not vegan anymore :’( still recovering from the loss

Haley Shepherd it’s a terrible option. Only 297 calories. I don’t eat at panera.

[@haleyshepherd2789]

Cyril I’m talking flavor, not calorie content😂 Just because something doesn’t have 1000 calories doesn’t mean it can’t taste good and be filling. It’s full of healthy, tasty ingredients. Anyway, when you count all the bread I will be dipping in that delicious broth, it will defintely be more than 300 calories.

Yeah... I’m from KY. People tend to think we are all about fried chicken and skip us when deciding to give us Vegan or creative restaurants/grocery stores in general (especially where I live). You really have to be creative here but it’s humbling. California definitely seems to be the holy grail of Vegan options.

[@alexnicole7625]

I used to work at a burgerking and we fried our french toast sticks in the same oil that we fried our chicken patties and chicken fingers in, as well as our breakfast sausage and our nuggets... pretty much everything that we fried went in the same oil.

[@skylerfincham4666]

Chief I work at Panera I would be cautious of getting soups. The soba noodles as in a container pre prepared and broth is added. For soups though they are all in one locations and they label thing vegetarian most of the time for cross contamination. It's attempted to be avoided some sometimes thing splash into each other.

[@clothestravel]

I read that Panda’s chow mein is vegan, as they stopped preparing the noodles in chicken broth. They don’t say anything is vegan or vegetarian to protect themselves legally in the event that cross contamination occurs and sends someone to the hospital due to an allergic reaction. But they are vegan, as is the super greens and brown/white rice. They used to have an eggplant and tofu dish, but I haven’t seen it in a while.

[@juls2996]

McDonald’s has the oatmeal too just ask for no cream(apple pie too).

[@Puertoricanbeauty22]

julissa yes and it’s good! 😋

[@TheDiscountVegan]

DUDE. I am Subway QUEEN ..LOL. Vegan veggie patty with ALL veggies. Mustard and Guac with salt and pepper. SOOO good! There are actually 2 veggie patties. One has egg the other doesn't. The falafel I find a bit dry though.

[@rhiand3]

When my family goes to Subway, we order all the veggies and go home and add a whole avocado to each sandwich, then mustard and chow! I am hoping they will make a sandwich for vegans that comes with double avocado, but does not cost $8 extra per foot long
