The change.org petition, started by the Good Food Institute, asks In-N-Out CEO Lynsi Snyder to put a meatless option on the immensely popular fast-food restaurant’s menu.

...

More than 18,000 people have signed the petition as of late Tuesday morning. Once it has reached the stated goal of 25,000 online signatures, organizers will send it to Snyder.

This isn’t the first In-N-Out has been petitioned for a veggie burger option; another online petition on change.org from from four years ago also sought a meat-free alternative to the traditional burger. It received more than 16,500 signatures before it was “closed.

Order a burger and tell them to hold the burger. Voila ... veggie burger.

I found that if you fry the veggie burger in a combination of beef and bacon fat, it tastes pretty good.

They have a veggie burger. Just order a burger without meat.

How about the thousands of sh*theads get together and open their own veggie burger joint?

The only non-meat “hamburger” I’ve ever had that tasted good had a large grilled shiitake mushroom cap instead of beef.

I like to have my burgers wrapped in lettuce because I am bun-phobic. I am almost always accommodated. Nothing like beef, bacon and cheese wrapped in lettuce!

Apparently all 18,000 vegetarians have signed the petition. That’s unity!

I don’t think In-N-Out has changed their menu since I first had one of their burgers from the store on Francisquito Ave in Baldwin Park, CA across the street from my High School. That would have been in about 1964.

thanks (but that would seem to defeat the vegetarian purpose, eh?)

The village of Berrien Springs (Michigan) is home to Andrews University (7th Day Adventist). Most SDA folks are vegetarian (although this is said to be more cultural than religious). At any event, this nice little village was faced with its first proposed serious blemish....an application to open a McD’s in town!!! CRISIS!!! The village finally said OKay on the McD’s if it included a vegie-burger on its menu. (Which only makes sense with half the town not eating meat...so you’d think McD would think of it themselves...) Anyway, the McD went in. And it serves the required vegieburgers. Not very tasty, imho. But since I barf instantly upon exposure to a regular McD “meat” burger, I order the vegie ones.... and don’t upchuck chuck, so to speak.
In short, as bad as they are, they’re still an improvement over the regular McD “food” imho

No offense to the fans of In-n-Out Burger but I don’t get the hype. I’ve eaten there and the burgers were so-so and the fries were squishy. It’s possible I’m just spoiled since we have Whataburger in TX.

Double double onion burger, hold the meat, add mustard. Wouldn’t be vegan because of the cheese, but it would be vegetarian.

I tried replicating them, but I finally gave up. Nothing came close to my father’s

Maybe his secret ingredient was meat?

If they wanted to market one, they would. There aren’t enough non meat eaters to justify the cost.

Petitions are no substitute for market research.

Vegans are not going to like In-and-Out Burger. They will not eat there, even if there is a vegan option.

Eating a veggie burger is like kissing your sister. A total waste of time.

I have no complaints about the BK Veggie Burger, at least in this area.

Vegans are not going to like In-and-Out Burger. They will not eat there, even if there is a vegan option.

These ideas fail for two reasons:

1.) People who avoid meat for ethical reasons won't eat a vegetarian burger that was cooked on the same appliances as a meat burger.

2.) People who avoid meat for health reasons don't eat at fast-food burger places.
