The mission? To make better meat, period. Meati was founded in 2016 by Tyler Huggins, who gained his know-how growing up on a bison ranch. Through the end of April, the new chicken sandwiches come with a 50 percent off BOGO deal and a $1 kickback toward future Meati items at PLNT. The Meati chicken sandwiches are now on the menu at all 13 PLNT Burger locations across New York, Washington, DC, Massachusetts, Virginia, Pennsylvania, and Maryland. And if you’re craving something with a kick, the Spicy Crispy Chik’n Sandwich is the same build but turned up with hot sauce and vegan pepper jack cheese. The Crispy Chik’n Sandwich features a breaded Meati filet that is prepared just like chicken and stuffed between soft potato buns alongside vegan mayo, lettuce, and pickles. “It’s absolutely delicious and nutritious and we’re so happy to share it with our PLNT Burger family,” he says. “When we heard Meati had developed a mushroom root chicken patty, we could not resist exploring this superfood and its ingredients.” One of our best selling burgers is the PLNT Mushroom BBQ Bacon Burger, we’ve also had a lot of fun and success with our Chicken Fun-guy sandwich in the past,” Mendelsohn tells VegNews. “It’s no secret we love mushrooms at PLNT Burger. Owned by forward-thinking celebrity chef Spike Mendelsohn, PLNT Burger is among the first restaurants in the country to add mycelium-made vegan chicken made by Colorado-based Meati Foods to its menu. ![]() One benefit of occupying this liminal space is that mycelium-the fast-growing root systems of mushrooms-makes for a formidable, whole-cut vegan meat that delivers the taste of animal meat but without any of the cruelty associated with slaughtering a sentient being.Īnd while all of this might sound like science fiction-or someone narrating that Fantastic Fungi film we all loved-mushroom meat is something you can taste right now, in the informal setting of vegan fast-food chain PLNT Burger. Fungi are organisms that sit at the intersection of the plant and animal kingdom with characteristics from both but in a world of their own.
