The fast-food landscape is pretty bleak for vegetarians.
Even though plant-based proteins have blossomed across the food scene this year - with the Impossible Whopper driving up Burger King's sales and the nationwide rollout of Dunkin's Beyond Sausage breakfast sandwich - plant-based options remain sparse at many national chains.
I'm not a vegetarian, but those taking part in the growing vegan and vegetarian movement in America likely still want fast food.
It can be nigh impossible to find a filling and nutritious meal with no meat in it at a fast-food chain. So I set out to find out what each chain has to offer our meat-eschewing brethren. First on the docket: Chick-fil-A.
I went to a Chick-fil-A in Manhattan and tried to eat a full meal comprised only of menu options that didn't contain meat. It's definitely possible to modify other menu items to be vegetarian, but in order to keep things consistent, I only ordered unmodified items.
