18 Juicy Vegan Burgers That Are Way Better Than the Big Mac

From Pennsylvania to California, these epic vegan burgers outshine their animal-based counterpart. 

Over the summer, McDonald’s ended the test of its McPlant burger before it ever got the chance to tempt customers with a nationwide launch. But that doesn’t necessarily mean that they’re gone forever. Luckily, vegan sandwiches at fast-food chains are no longer difficult to come by, but before Impossible Foods and Beyond Meat infiltrated drive-thru culture, plant-based restaurants were making their own super-stacked veggie burgers. The following  18 vegan burgers prove that meat-free joints do it best.
