For his plant-primarily based burgers, Watkins swears by Past Meat and Violife manufacturer vegan cheese. “It’s the greatest vegan cheese they have out there,” he claimed, noting Violife does not have a odd aftertaste like some vegan cheeses do.

Watkins’ Burgers are not cheap. A solitary patty runs $15.99, though the Double OG clocks in at $18.99. “Vegan meals expenses so much far more than a standard burger,” he claimed. “To survive and pay our bills, it has to be at that value position. We use high quality components, and a whole lot of our stuff is natural and organic.”

Watkins sees his charges as competitive with other area names in vegan ingesting, together with Slutty Vegan and Everyday living Bistro.
