Hero Burger Offers GF Veggie Burger!

Hero Certified Burgers has decided to switch to a new gluten-free version for their veggie burgers!!
A couple months ago, I went to Hero Certified Burgers to get a veggie burger with a gluten-free bun (buns supplied by O'Doughs).  The menu advertised that their veggie burger supplier is Sol Cuisine, a company known for producing a wide range of gluten-free veggie burgers that taste great - I even wrote a blog about Sol Cuisine.


To my surprise, the chain used a pure wheat gluten version of the veggie burgers!!  Ahhh, needless to say, I went hungry that day.


When I got home that day, I emailed Hero Burger to ask why they used a wheaty veggie burger when they proudly advertise the use of a gluten-free bun and have an awesome gluten-free veggie burger supplier (Sol Cuisine).  The person I exchanged emails with agreed that this was unfair to customers who are both vegetarian and gluten-free - like me!!


I just spoke with Sol Cuisine yesterday and have been told that Hero Certified Burgers has decided to change the veggie burgers to be gluten-free!  woohoo!  Never thought I'd be able to eat a veggie burger with bun at a fast food joint!


This new burger should be available soon... I will keep you guys posted when I get more information.


Don't worry... they still have their gluten-free 100% beef patty for you meat-eaters.


My burger will look something like this ;)


Who's excited to try the new burger?  Or at least excited for me to eat a burger again?
