We're excited for Hard Rock Cafe guests nationwide to experience the meaty taste and better-for-you ingredients that have made the Beyond Burger a standout in the plant protein category."1
With a beefy flavor and high smoke point due to avocado oil, the latest Beyond Burger caramelizes and sizzles to perfection. Made from clean, simple plant-based ingredients including protein from peas, brown rice, red lentils and faba beans, the 4oz Beyond Burger is an excellent source of protein – 20g per serving – with just 2g of saturated fat, and no cholesterol, GMOs, or added antibiotics or hormones.
