Burger King Germany has made a big announcement with the chain’s first-ever all-plant-based restaurant in Cologne. Now, it’s a limited-time situation...but from June 7ththrough June 11th, all of BK’s plant-based menu options – such as the Impossible Whopper - will be available as well as a new sandwich, the Long Chicken Patty.
How’d they get there? Burger King collaborated with The Vegetarian Butcher to come up with a meatless menu. That’s the company responsible for developing vegan chicken nuggets as well as plant-based Rebel Whoppers that are sold throughout Europe and the UK, Burger King’s Whopper Vegetal in Mexico, and a plant-based Whopper in China.
Burger King UK CEO Alasdair Murdoch says the chain is working towards a 50 percent plant-based menu by 2031 (they also rolled out the Vegan Royale recently). It’s a Vegan Society-certified version of the Chicken Royale sandwich and just happens to be the same sandwich introduced in Germany as “The Long Chicken Patty” so BK plant-based is here to stay.
