]]>Cross-contamination is a huge problem in fast food kitchens because itโs highly likely your plant-based food will come in contact with non-vegan ingredients during the preparation process.
All vegans have their own reason to embrace this lifestyle. If youโre vegan for animals, you should think twice before eating at fast food restaurants because they often participate in animal exploitation, despite offering vegan options.
Food at fast food restaurants is usually packed with calories, fats, and sodium. Their vegan food isnโt immune to these flaws, so itโs better to eat at authentic vegan restaurants with fresh, healthy, and tasty offering.
Vegan fast food has its bad sides, but that doesnโt necessarily mean it should be avoided at all costs. The spike in demand could inspire fast food brands to introduce more plant-based items prepared in a more ethical way.

โI have always been one hundred percent,โ he observed in an interview with [EDIT] Magazine. โIt goes even beyond passionate. Itโs whatever the positive word is for being obsessive. If you are not going to shoot for the best and fully immerse yourself in what you are doing and strive to be your best version of your creative self, you will never be fully satisfied.”
But for Prescott, cooking is first and foremost a way of connecting with others. โI fell in love with food and cooking for people,โ he says. โIt was that idea of โthe collision of food and community at the table.โ A friend said, โHave you heard of this new social media app called Instagram? You should try it!โ I think my first post was a selfie, but on my phone, I started documenting the process of cooking and taking photographs of the dishes, because I genuinely wanted to remember what I had cooked the day before. There was no decision on my part to say, โHey, I am going to be a food guy.โ It just worked out that the content I posted was what I was passionate about.โ
According to Prescott, what turned his Instagram page into a success, was the passion that drove it. “Even if you are able to make a living, you wonโt be creatively satisfied,” he says. “It is because you are not embracing your desire to strive for excellence and get better at something every day.โ
Words of wisdom to accompany his tasty account.

]]>These are some of the most surprising former McDonaldโs menu items to have ever existed.
Chicken nuggets are a classic item that can be found at McDonaldโs locations around the globe, but did you know that the chain offered onion nuggets before them for a brief time? In the late 1970s, McDonaldโs offered up fried bits of onion before trying out doing the same thing with chicken, which ended up being more of a hit.
McDonaldโs isnโt exactly known for its vegetarian options, but in the 1960s shortly after the chainโs inception, its restaurants offered up this meatless option. The Hula Burgerโconsisting of a grilled pineapple ring served with cheese on a bunโnever gained much traction.
As hard to believe as it might seem, McDonaldโs once sold the antithesis of its hamburger hallmark: the McHotdog. Despite being tested out in the 1990s in the Midwestern United States, people tended to stick with the classic hamburger, and this menu item was never rolled out on a big scale.

]]>This California pop-up that started in 2017, has branched out to three restaurant locations with two more on the way. The deep-fried chicken tenders that are coated in different spices and blends like No Spice, Extra Hot, and Reaper, is the best thing on the menu. The Reaper is so hot that customers have to sign a release form to eat it.
By 2025, this cafe hopes to expand to 1,500 cafes. There are tons of delicious flavors including Kiwi Quencher (kiwi, strawberry, and yogurt) and Avocolada (avocado, pineapple, spinach, kale, coconut, and lime). If smoothies aren’t your thing, they also have flatbreads, wraps, quesadillas, and sandwiches.
Now in six states, we think they’ll be opening new locations across the country soon enough. Their goal is to have everyone “Eat Well. Be Happy.” They have farm-to-table meals at fast-food prices and there are sandwiches, salads, smoothies, pizza, and mac ‘n’ cheese.
Known for their 17 dipping sauces like cayenne ranch, blue cheese, buffalo, Korean BBQ, mango habanero, and gravy. Their menu is vast and it includes wings, salads, sandwiches, chicken and waffles, fried pickles, and fried okra. In the next 10 years, they are aiming to open 600 new locations.
The first location was opened in New York and they plan to have 300 more restaurants in the next five years. Their green bowls, grain bowls, power plates, and broth bowls are great for anyone leading a busy lifestyle who wants to eat healthy.
