At my new fast food restaurant there is NO meatless meat. BUT, you can get a burger in ground meats that are: beef, chicken, turkey, veal, or also lamb (not always lamb, but a monthly special). There are vegan patty burgers — you can ask for a chick pea burger, a butternut squash burger, an eggplant burger, a mushroom burger and a black bean burger. I’m thinking of also adding a basic Boca Soy burger. There are salads and fried vegetables and pastas there too. And very few sandwiches, like a pulled pork, a pulled chicken, a fried cod, a philly cheesesteak and also meatball subs in both the vegan class and also the non-vegan class. The vegan materials are pre-prepped and they are also assembled in their own area, so no more grill contaminations. There are other things you can get there.

I don’t know when I will open it. I hope sometime before the end of the 20s. I’d like to call it McNamara’s but that’s a pretty famous person’s name, I have already forgotten who, so it makes it a little seedy and yes, it was just to include a “Mc” on it. So I don’t know what to call it yet. Possibly, Tarquin’s, but there’s no better reason for it than antiquity. Haven’t really decided.
