Avon BurgerFi to Feature 'Plant-Based' Burger

AVON, CT — BurgerFi is taking what officials from the restaurant chair are calling "a giant leap into the future of plant-based protein" by offering "The Beyond Burger."

The burger is set to launch at all BurgerFi locations nationwide on Monday, Sept. 4 after a successful test in eight of its restaurants.

BurgerFi officials said the company will be the first national fast-casual burger-chain in the country to serve the "revolutionary burger."

BurgetFi has locations in Avon at 380 West Main St. and in Manchester at 1062 Tolland Turnpike.

Packed with 20 grams of protein, the all-natural, "plant-based burger" literally “bleeds” beet juice and is free of GMOs, soy, and gluten, according to BurgerFi officials.

The Beyond Burger is a "generously-sized, single patty," topped with pickles, onions, lettuce, tomato, mayonnaise, mustard, ketchup and American cheese, according to BurgerFi officials. A vegan option will also be available without mayonnaise and cheese and served in a lettuce wrap, according to BurgerFi officials

"The Beyond Burger is a breakthrough product that allows meat eaters and vegans alike to enjoy the juicy, chin dribbling burger eating experience they crave, but with the added health and environmental benefits of plant-based protein," according to BurgerFi officials.

Created by Beyond Meat, The Beyond Burger is a plant-based burger that tastes like its beef burger counterpart, according to BurgerFi officials.
