Today is David's birthday! Happy birthday 😃 !! Since he has the day off to get some well-deserved rest, we made plans to meet for lunch to enjoy his special day together. Tonight, we'll be having dinner at Grimaldi's, for David's traditional "birthday pizza", so we wanted something on the lighter side for lunch. Sort of like a calm before the storm. With this in mind, we headed straight for my, Earth Burger. Earth Burger got it's start as a concept on Kickstarter, an online community where members can present a project idea and others can provide the resources necessary to bring it to life. "Plant-based fast food for everyone. "Delicious vegetarian food for people on the go!" read their project description. Since the launch of their funding campaign, over 300 donors raised more than $43,000 to build Texas' very first plant-based fast food restaurant. Today they have a plaque in their dining room dedicated to their Kickstarter funders.As luck would have it, the first and only Earth Burger is located mere minutes away from where I work, which comes in handy when I forget to make lunch or only have enough time for something quick. It's a fantastic, guilt-free option because all of their dishes are vegan and plant-based with no hydrogenated oils or artificial colors. They also have organic, fair trade sodas, whole wheat breads and gluten-free options, too. Win, win, win. Just about everything I've had at Earth Burger has been fresh, fast and delicious, but my favorite menu item would be theStacked high with lettuce, tomatoes, pickled red onions and creamy sriracha mayo, this burger is both wholesome and filling. Thepatty is crisp and indiscernible in texture to it's meaty competitor. Personally, I prefer the taste Earth Burger'sto other drive-thru options, that are oftentimes too oily and taste of old grease.Make it a meal with an order of crinkle cut fries. When you get a fresh batch, which is most times, they're heavenly. Crispy, crunchy on the outside and fluffy on the inside with just the right amount of salt. I only wish that they came in two sizes, small and regular, since finishing them alone can be a bit of a challenge and I hate wasting food! If you still have room after all that plant-based yumminess, the vegan brownies are moist, fudgy and oh-so-decadent.
