We Rated Vegan Fast Food Options: Part 3

[@DindellaTheDefender]

As someone who works at a TacoBell, the reason we probably won’t get vegan meats or cheeses is because unlike most places we can’t and don’t premake anything. Everything is made on the spot as you order on our line, and we really don’t have a place to put them. But, we can also make literally anything vegan for you. Anything that has beef, we can switch it out for refried beans, black beans, rice, or potatoes without charge. We can swap sour cream to guac and also make everything fresco like you see in this video. It’s not just our crunchwrap or bean burritos we can do this for you on! You can get a beef supreme burrito and swap the beef for rice, since it already comes with beans you now have beans and rice. Swap sour-guac, make fresco-it’s now a Vegan 7 layer with onions and red sauce. Lotsa great options and we don’t charge for them.

Thanks

I used to work at taco bell too last year and they hinted at an impossible meat option coming soon. And I don’t rlly understand your reasoning for why you think they’re probably not gonna offer vegan options. We add and remove all different types of ingredients in our menu all the time and it just modifies the line slightly. And so many other fast food places don’t premake anything either, they assemble things to order as well.

[@DindellaTheDefender]

@@zestyd24 , I haven’t seen anything regarding any impossible meats coming, personally. In terms of why I think not, it’s because I work in a classic style store. Our lines don’t have the space. Our lines are small, both literally and the space to travel around them. I’m not sure how we’d fit an impossible meat option. But supposedly sometime this year we’re getting a reno, so fingers crossed.

[@valeweathers]

I don't need fake meat and or cheese, fresco style is enough for me!

[@rebekkaflam8460]

Interesting! Taco Bells in Europe offer oat "meat" though! Its pretty good, especially if you just want a cheap classic style taco XD

[@VeganPanda4]

It’s so sad about Starbucks because they have SO MUCH money and resources to do it right, and they don’t. Even some breakfast pastries would be so easy to veganize and regular patrons wouldn’t even know the difference!

[@michelles7601]

Even Hong Kong, a place that usually is horrible with vegan substitutes at fast food places, has some vegan stuff at Starbucks now. They recently introduced a series of 3 savoury and 2 sweet snacks, and while they're not perfect, they're decent and not your average salad with a side of greens. I do remember having some vegan stuff at Starbucks in Europe years ago though! And if I remember correctly, it also was decent, even though that was like 5 years ago 🤣

[@pienopiper6143]

Peets is better for vegan options

[@deadsetondreams1988]

Starbucks does have vegan options just not at all stores which is annoying. I actually do really like the protein meal thing because it makes me eat healthily and the guac makes it all delicious. Normally I'm not into peas in a pod for some reason, it's the string factor just like with celery, but I like it with the guac XD Also, I heard Taco Bell is doing their own vegan meat, as Chipotle did, just not sure when it will be released to the masses XD Also, you should have tried a Starbucks drink as well, I like to get the Strawberry frappe with soy milk.

[@camillemontano7196]

It would be cool to see a vlog style video seeing how Tucker does cutting out meat because a lot of the vegan creators on this channel have been vegan for a little while so it would be cool to see the beginning of someone’s journey.

[@greatboniwanker]

I love these vegan-nonvegan reviews, keep them coming!

[@tinaoday8348]

Yay Tucker!!! Definitely want a part 4 and for sure want to hear about Tucker’s journey.

[@someguy2135]

Going vegan is the single most effective way for each of us to minimize our environmental footprint. "According to the most comprehensive analysis of farming’s impact on the planet, plant-based food is most effective at combatting climate change. Oxford University researcher Joseph Poore, who led the study, said adopting a vegan diet is “the single biggest way to reduce your impact on planet Earth.” “A vegan diet is probably the single biggest way to reduce your impact on planet Earth, not just greenhouse gases, but global acidification, eutrophication, land use and water use.”. -Joseph Poore, Environmental Science Researcher, University of Oxford.

[@Thecatandchicken]

I really like these videos. The set up is so laid back and feel like your hanging out with friends. Also, as someone who has decided to move to being vegan it's good to get a variety of options. Plus, it's just go to have many inputs cause everyone's taste is different. Must say you are great, I love watching.

[@igc4582]

The best part of the video: Tucker taking the step to cut off red meat! YES PLEASE 😍

[@reva510]

Vegan Crunchwrap is probably my favorite food ever lol. It’s so good

[@xenophile84]

The way Rachel asked for guacamole and refried beans was exactly correct - people constantly mixing this up is one of my pet peeves. If you want guacamole instead of sour cream, the correct way to say it is "I'd like to substitute guacamole for sour cream" (NOT the other way around). The guac is the substitute, standing in for the sour cream.

[@smilley792]

I do love this series. No idea why, but it just makes me giggle when they swap seats front to back toe at and have there chance to discuss. Still can here the pain in Rachel’s voice when she follows merely with “and I’m….. Rachel” We need to come up with a catch phrase for her!!!!

[@elladadavtyan]

I love these videos so much. Ya'll are a great team haha. I'm excited for Tucker's journey. Keep us posted, please.

[@LukeFromLasVegas]

I LOVE this series. More more more!! Tucker is so funny too! So glad to hear about him considering not eating red meat anymore. Beef is honestly the worst for both your health AND the environment. 🐮❤

[@michellebeckham6402]

I love the shakes from Fatburger, but yes, the price point is insane! The burgers are fine to me as well, but they could work on shaving a couple bucks off the price! Waiting for Taco Bell’s plant based meat to be available, taking way too long, but I do love them!

[@JubeiKibagamiFez]

What's so funny is taco bell could just do seasoned tofu. It's ridiculous thay haven't yet. I do that all the time for taco night.

[@ito_tofu5324]

@@JubeiKibagamiFez tofu probably costs more than the mystery meat they use. (and of course meat is so cheap bc it is heavily subsidized - animals are worth nothing in the eyes of 95% of the population)

[@michellebeckham6402]

@@JubeiKibagamiFez that would be tasty 😋

[@JubeiKibagamiFez]

@@ito_tofu5324 True. I get my tofu at $2.49/lb, but places like taco bell probably get their mystery meat at cost for less than $1/lb.

[@someguy2135]

Fatburger probably figures that they have a monopoly on vegan shakes, and can charge whatever they want for them. I'll stick to my smoothies.

[@colleencarr3470]

I agree w/ U Rachel, about Starbucks. It surprises me how they have these vegan substitutions in the grocery store & even Whole Foods creates very little that’s vegan. Then U go to Dunkin’ Donuts & they do what Starbucks does & mixes vegan with dairy. I do not like Blaze’s vegan pizza. Maybe I’m not picking the right toppings. Dunkin Donuts has a very tasty sourdough toast w/ atacado, roasted tomatoes & Everything but the bagel seasoning, but they only give U 1 piece of toast. I’m on the east coast & the chains don’t always sell the same foods as west coast.

[@deadsetondreams1988]

Dunkin also automatically adds bacon on the avocado toast unless they stopped doing that recently? The only by me I always had to say no bacon but I don't go there often enough to know if they stopped doing that. I used to work at Dunkin back when I was a vegetarian and gained way too much weight so the only time I go there now is when my parents go. I'm vegan now so there's not much appeal for me except for the toasts you mentioned XD

[@E3live-o4e]

This series is so fun. Can we get a part 4 please?

[@pablomojica556]

I recommend you go to El pollo loco they have a vegan chicken burrito and you maybe go next time on part 4 for the next video

In Germany Starbucks has been stepping up the vegan game lately. We`ve now got multiple sweet baked goods, savoury options and already vegan drinks. There is a lemon and rasberry muffin, a strawberyy-chocolate cream cake, a vanilla pudding pastry and for savoury an antipasti sandwich or a falafel flatbread.

[@sarahsmiles4607]

I have no idea how I stumbled across your channel since I’m not vegan (although I do watch a lot of cooking videos), however I am hooked on your personalities! I’m also much more open to trying vegan items when I dine out, so great job!

I do love these videos, Y’all are so fabulous. I hate that I live in a suburban Georgia neighborhood where I don’t have nearly as many vegan choices, but it’s slowly getting better here too! Maybe you could take a road trip to a less vegan area and help us suburban vegans figure out how to order better, like you did with Taco Bell. I’m gonna try to order that crunch wrap at my Taco Bell here in Marietta GA and see what happens.

Taco Bell had vegan meat at Detroit locations for a limited time, a couple months ago. It was so good! They still came with cheese on it and sour cream on it though. It tasted more like a chili seasoning to me but I hope they roll them back out nation wide!

so when are ben & tucker going vegan?

[@Dwoalin]

Merle's face at the start is me any time I get excited for vegan options at fast food places but every other component isn't vegan 😠 Also, the Taco Bell app for real is a vegan's best friend to order ahead for customizing all your items. Honestly, the black beans are the move over refried 👌🏼 I do wish Taco Bell had more vegan friendly creamy sauces though.

[@dragonpop]

Agreed about the black beans at Taco Bell. We drive to a further Taco Bell because the one closest to us doesn't carry black beans!

[@Dwoalin]

@@dragonpop I don’t know if this is common across all Taco Bell’s but mine stops serving black beans at 11 PM which is a bummer.

[@dragonpop]

@@Dwoalin No black beans after 11:00pm?! What kind of Cinderella bull pucky is that?! LOL! Seriously though. My days of fast food stops late at night are in my rear view. So it might be that way here as well. My confusion is why a Taco Bell wouldn't at least offer black beans during the day?

[@Dwoalin]

@@dragonpop They offer black beans during the day but stop serving them at 11 PM. It was the same with their Veggie Power Burrito and Bowl. It’s like the Cinderella black beans have to be home by 11 or they turn into refried beans 🤣
