For All You Vegan Meat Lovers
A Vegan Meat Lovers Specialty
Just because you’re vegan doesn’t mean you can’t enjoy “meat.” You can, it’s just meat that doesn’t come from animals. The flavors and textures are identical to animal-based products, so even your non-vegan friends will enjoy them. Today’s #LunchBreakLIVE guest Chef, Gina Bonanno-Lemos, shares with us her famous meat lovers burger, made with vegan meat by Beyond Meat. And it is delicious, proving anything can be made vegan and still keep its flavor. Let’s take a closer look at how she threw this masterpiece together.
