We Rated Vegan Fast Food Options: Part 2

[@KarterC]

The guy at KFC in Canada told me they recently just veganized ALL their sauces! He said the only one that took awhile longer than the rest was the spicy mayo. I didn’t look further into it but if that’s true maybe it’s something for you guys to look forward to!

[@tarachristie933]

Makes sense for the mayo taking longer

[@GS-lq2is]

Woo! Great news!

[@Nikki-rx8ri]

Totally want to see a part 3!!!

[@kaitymoefai]

Everyone saying the chicken isn't vegan.. neither are the burgers or the sausage patty. They were probably all cross contaminated and cooked on/in meat surfaces that weren't cleaned before making these "vegan" meals. It is nearly impossible to avoid cross contamination, especially when eating out at fast food places. The effort and intention is all that matters

[@janah5617]

right! otherwise it would be way less accessible and also no additional animals are being harmed in the process

[@giselleluna1100]

I agree 100% at least the option is there

[@fairholmka]

I just care that my money isn't going towards slaughterhouses

[@shelby2117]

@@fairholmka I hope you're not patronizing any non-vegan grocery stores or restaurants if that's your argument.

[@emk3]

there are no extra animals being harmed just by having your veggie patty cooked in the same oil anyways

[@rajathor8484]

We need part 3 for sure . PERIOD

[@SaveMoneySavethePlanet]

I’ve been saying for a while that fast food is a great way for these meat subs to break into mainstream audiences. Fast food is already so processed that having a highly processed vegan option probably doesn’t throw the taste way off. Whereas, trying to get someone who normally eats high end cuts of meat to make the switch will be harder. P.S. I’m super excited to go try those chicken nuggets now!

[@someguy2135]

Some KFC locations have overcooked them and make them too tough. I ended up using a fork and steak knife to cut bite sized pieces. The taste was amazing, and well worth a little extra chewing.

[@alexhardy4559]

Quick question though are these meat substitutes really healthy. Like I'm a non veg but I rarely eat processed meats. Most of my meat is fresh cuts from my farm. So isn't all these substitute really processed and pretty unhealthy

[@joshchang5757]

[@geminispoppy]

Omg guys!!! Ike's is bomb, the dutch crunch bread is to die for!!

[@maryannemalandrinos5504]

Seriously!!! They did it so dirty in this. Like it’s one thing to not like a sandwich but another to confidently not recommend it despite having an absolutely massive menu.

[@maylto8407]

My family loves Ike’s vegan sandwiches and there are so many options to choose from as well. And only my nephew is vegan, the rest of us just think the vegan options are delicious

[@Vic_Coco]

I’m here for this amazing review as a non vegan but someone lactose intolerant

[@mmmghool]

So you eat meat? Would you consider no longer doing that to stop supporting animal cruelty in slaughterhouses? Animals like that cute cat who don’t want to be locked up and killed for a burger.

[@benny.pepper]

just watch gary yourofsky's speech on youtube

[@tarachristie933]

Nope. I like meat. Sorry mentioning a “cute cat” changes nothing.

[@11235Aodh]

@@tarachristie933 Plenty vegan's also used to love meat, i was one of them. I just find it not important enough to keep the horrors in the industry going while destroying the earth's health and ours with it.

[@Janae2000]

@@tarachristie933 I like meat too but guess what? That doesn’t justify being ignorant to how improperly big chain factory slaughter companies treat their animals? Put yourself in their place to be raped and brought into the world only to be beaten and viciously murdered? And kept in a small cage chained to the wall? Do you not realize that because these animals are so abused they secrete toxins because they live in fear and pain. If you’re gonna eat meat stop being ignorant and support local farmers. People who care about their livestock. Buy kosher meat where their is a special technique that Involves no pain to the animals and they are raised respectfully. What are you doing here if all you’re gonna be is ignorant and disrespectful?

[@dr.marceaobrien8895]

Ben and Tucker made this video for me. They had me cracking up. Keep them on the trips. I plan to try all of these. Thanks Guys!

[@Oonagh72]

I think we should stop trying to describe plant based food relative to how well it replicates meat. I think we should judge it merely as it is. Flavor profile, and texture. I think this is what will remove the stigma of plant based food.

[@mmmghool]

I’m all for this personally, but I think the resemblance to meat is important to make the point to non vegans that killing an animal is even less justifiable than it already was in a world where there are plant-based meats indiscernible from the flesh they’re conditioned to love.

[@flow4458]

@@mmmghool Absolutely. When I went vegan I wanted things to taste JUST like the meat I had the week before. Now, I honestly don't care anymore. But we wanna convince the meat-eaters to go vegan!

[@SaveMoneySavethePlanet]

Yea that could definitely help. I personally hate when people try to call stuff “_____ based ice cream.” There is only one thing in my book which tastes like ice cream and I feel like that sets customers up for potential disappointment. That being said, I really love the oat milk and soy milk frozen treats that I’ve found! They just aren’t ice cream…

[@LeTrashPanda]

Something too close to beef & pork freaks out someone who gave them up decades ago, it's difficult at least in the beginning. What is heme (?) that word does NOT inspire confidence!

[@someguy2135]

@@LeTrashPanda Heme is the iron in red meat. In the Impossible burgers, they use heme made from soy, and then use yeast to produce it.

[@stephm2429]

I love Ike's, but usually don't get the Dutch crunch. I bet the vegan meatless Mike on sourdough.

[@someguy2135]

I have never tried Ike's. Maybe that location was not up to the level of the ones you guys have tried.

[@ScottWallace5]

Yes! So happy you did another one of this, love this series and hope you do another one! So glad to hear of more mainstream fast food places having vegan options. But here's hoping that we get one decent sandwich shop with a good vegan option.

[@maryannemalandrinos5504]

Retry Ike’s but with audience recommendations or just a larger taste test! You guys did them so dirty but they have soooo many options. I personally like the vegan sally ride with all of the fixings on Dutch crunch but there are tonssss of amazing items. Also their chips and drinks are great selections too

This is the DREAM TEAM. My lawd, the banter and dynamic is the best.

[@crimsonmayu9322]

Just a heads up to any interested eaters: According to KFC’s website the chicken isn’t prepared in a vegetarian or vegan way; it’s fried in the chicken fryers. Just wanted to make that clear

[@lindseymorris3432]

I had been wondering about that. Thanks for the info!

[@jlsmith1987]

KFC also has vegan hot sauce packets at most locations, but it's not a "dipping sauce" so it's unlisted.

[@themeatlessmama]

From what I've heard, KFC cooks their vegan meat in the same oil as the meat. I hope that's not true but if it is, would it be considered vegan?

[@laurabutler1222]

It is true. KFC said it themselves. It is all fried in the same oil.

[@YukiDelValle]

@@atCatLeigh That's not what cross contamination means, they're straight up cooking in animal fats.

[@user-db2go6iq7h]

@@YukiDelValle no, they’re cooking them in vegetable oil that they also use to fry non-vegan chicken. it’s not adding to the demand of non-vegan products, so it’s vegan.

The challenge with KFC is that the oil they cook the nuggets in is also used for their chicken, so the oil will be "contaminated" by chicken fat and other non-vegan items. Same challenge with any vegan burger made on a grill with regular burgers.
