Hello from Sacramento! Glad you moved here. Funny, I'm so glad fast food has realized that vegans like to go out too. I haven't had fast food in decades when I brought home some nachos from Taco Bell and got deathly ill after I ate it. Eating plant based for nine years, I crave good food that actually tastes good. I love a bean burger that has chunks of beans! I love eating massive amounts of food and staying slim. I'm glad all fast food chains have something for me, but I have no desire to rush out and try them ~ but I do love when someone tries them and lets me know which is the best. Janet

Howdy!!! I didn't know that's where you were located. That's cool. Yeah, I eat mostly grains and beans in my daily life, but I like a good splurge every now and then. I didn't feel terrible after, and I think only having the burger with nothing else really helped to keep it from being a total gut bomb. I prefer the bean and rice burritos at Taco Bell to pretty much any other fast food, but it's good to know these are there if I need them.

Not in Canada yet but some of the competition has a plant version of either a beef burger or chicken burger or tenders/nuggets. I was NEVER a fan of meat hamburgers and would go hungry before having to eat one. Now I can eat the plant versions as they don’t remind me of the real thing (aversion to the taste). Having said that, the pandemic has resulted in ridiculously expensive take out options. Some plant options are more expensive than the meat version!! The high cost alone is enough for me to stick with a home cooked healthier option wherever possible. Looking forward to the salad video. I crave salads in after a long winter, especially in Canada. Good to see you back filming/posting.

Hi there! I'm glad the McPlant seems to be a good burger. I've really wanted to try the fast food vegan burgers. I've had the Beyond Burger cooked at a friend's home on a grill and it was really spectacular! I was so impressed. I'd be glad to have it again. As for the Best Foods Vegan Mayonnaise, if you are looking for other stores in the SF Bay Area to buy it, you might try Nob Hill Foods (also known as Raley's in some neighborhoods). The first time I bought it, that's where I got it, although the regular price is probably somewhat better at Target. It's a great vegan mayo. Happy eating and cooking! Thanks of the video.

Personally, I probably wouldn't try this one because I have never liked classic burger (always chose the McChicken) and I don't like the Beyond aftertaste but still, I am glad such options start to appear. Who knows, maybe one day, if they are available everywhere, vegans will finally have a decent option while on the road? ;P . Anyways, sending you lots of love!

Just as a diet of green smoothies and kale chips isn't for everyone. Haha.

I asked the same thing about Carls Jr and Burger king with their plant based options, but I think they are shying away from 'vegan' and sticking with 'plant based' because it allows them to not really tackle the shared surfaces problem. That being said, if you actually say Vegan Whopper they will (usually) microwave it instead of heating it on the grill.

Beyond Meat designed their products to appeal to meat eaters, not vegans. When meat eaters order one of these, they reduce the demand for cow flesh which results in decreased demand and (everything else) fewer cows being bred into existence for a miserable, short life.

I have had a couple of great meals in SF, but where I am, it's Thai, or one or two items on a menu that can be made vegan. Maybe I'll start sharing some of my favorite places as I try them!

That's funny you say that, because I had the complete opposite experience. This was my first one, and I really enjoyed it. I had it a second time, and it was almost flavorless... I still enjoyed the convenience, but it was better the first time. Haha. Goes to show what a mixed bag fast food is.

Alright I will try it I tried the beyond burger and to be honest with all the lettuce tomato pickle and stuff they had on it I really didn't taste the burger so I bought another one without anything and it tasted pretty good. But I loved your comment # some days even a vegan wants a burger priceless. That comment on a T shirt would be fantastic 👍Stay safe stay strong stay healthy God bless and enjoy life ✌💪🌈💖🎅🚌🌻👍

I have an old old dog who absolutely loves fast food drive thru places so probably once a week now I pull up to McDonalds, Jack in the Box, etc and buy him a real burger and I get a vegan option. My local fast food places know us now and are so kind to my old boy and it makes his day. Haters can miss me too.

I like you and this disclaimer is so necessary for all the negative vegans….sometimes you want to eat something you’re semi familiar with as a treat once in a blue moon and you deserve it…it helps to change the menu for beginner vegans to open their mind to vegan items that look normal…it’s a first step for some

very cool, this is a monumental thing right here. I would want mine to turn out just like that, with a generous amount of lettuce, tomato, pickle, and onion, the last of which I guess you did not report being there, and ketchup, and mustard. assembled well and with care and generous portions, that is a basic but classic burger, no mayo needed, as nice as it would be, fuck it I'll start buying my own! yea it would be worth the higher price tag even as an 11 dollar meal if they made the burger right, and generously topped every time, although it should be cheaper since we have no vegan cheese or mayo. they should add that and vegan bacon as an add on as well, of course!! would be very cool to see McDonald's have more vegan options and more and more of their profits coming from vegan menu items, and I will 100% support it so long as it's consistently good and worth the $$. very cool man, thank you for sharing 👏👏👏👏💜🎉😎👍🔥🎶🍔

I agree, they made it well. I didn't mind waiting the extra few minutes to get a nice, freshly made burger. And the prices need to drop. My ex worked at McDonalds a long time ago, and his first reaction was "that's expensive for McDonald's". When the prices are actually comparable, then we'll truly know the success of such products.

For as long as I've had the channel, my mind has been on a constant loop of: What are you going to make next? Why aren't you filming this? When are you going to film a video again? I need to shut that voice off for a bit and focus that energy on my day-to-day life here. Overall, I'm great. Just freeing up some space.

I'm upset about some pizzas (Sweet Earth) and "chicken" pot pies in which the faux-meat elements are vegan, BUT they still contain milk, eggs, or dairy cheese. So vegans beware, don't trust that some vegan ingredients indicate (as one might assume) that the entire item is vegan. IMHO sneaky and deceitful.
