Burger King is testing a vegetarian version of its Whopper that uses an Impossible Burger for its patties, becoming the first national fast food chain to sell the plant-based burger.

div > div.group > p:first-child"> The Restaurant Brands International subsidiary is offering the Impossible Whopper at 59 of its St. Louis locations. The burger chain already sells veggie patties made by Kellogg's vegetarian brand, Morningstar Farms.

Silicon Valley-based Impossible Foods genetically engineers heme, a protein that makes the vegetarian-friendly burger taste like meat. The ingredient is also responsible for giving the patty red juices that make it look like it's bleeding just like any other piece of beef. The Impossible Burger is already sold in more than 5,000 restaurants, but if Burger King takes it nationwide, it would more than double its footprint.

Red Robin has also joined the ranks of fast casual restaurants bringing the plant-based burger to its 570 stores. Before Burger King's announcement, Midwestern chain White Castle was the only fast food restaurant to sell the Impossible Burger at its nearly 400 locations. Meanwhile, Carl's Jr. launched a plant-based burger made in partnership with Impossible Food's main competitor, Beyond Meat.

Why call it a burger when it isn’t!

Are their regular burgers not disgusting enough?

Yes!!

They will be the toast of the town in Berkeley; not so celebrated everywhere else. I'll bet it goes the way of the McDonald's McLean.

I wish they'd go back to working hard again on that 99 cent Whopper. That was a big seller. Game changer. Now it's just ridiculous.
