Chili Bowl (5/5 NOMs)

Chili is a true star of the new menu at PLNT Burger. This amazingly prepared dish would surprise even meat lovers with its meaty flavors. With every bite, it was hard to believe we were eating a vegan chili. The chefs achieved all the chili flavors we all like with zero meat inside. Made with ground Beyond Meat, house-made spice blend, beans, tomatoes, green onions, Follow Your Heart shredded cheddar cheese and vegan “sour cream”. We got to talk about the sour cream, it tastes so real we would think they just skipped the vegan part there. This is a perfect dish for cold days of DC winter. A nice bowl of this tasty chili cost $8. One thing to note, this is a tasting size for the event, so the actual bowl is much bigger.

Chili n Cheese Hot Dog (5/5 NOMs)

The chili dog was by far our favorite hot dog from PLNT Burger’s new menu. It combines deliciously prepared Beyond Meat sausage, vegan chili, Sir Kensington’s ketchup, and Follow Your Heart cheese. Made with split and grilled to perfection beyond Meat sausage, house-made chili, green onion, and on Schmidt’s potato hot dog bun. Seasoned and grilled to perfection, it’s hard to believe this is a 100% vegan dish. That is one of the reasons we think this burger joint serves some amazing food that even meat-eaters will like us will love. Price-wise this dish cost like most other hot dogs for $7.

The Classic, Sauerkraut Hot Dog (3/5 NOMs)

Another great addition to the PLNT Burger menu is Sauerkraut Hot Dog. It’s a beautiful hot dog that also tastes great. Served with perfectly grilled split Beyond Meat sausage, sauerkraut, relish and spicy mustard, the combination of pickled things and mustard makes for one strong flavor in every bite. Served on Schmidt’s potato hot dog bun. You won’t regret eating this at the baseball game.

Chocolate Strawberry Swirl (5/5 NOMs)

While not new to the menu, the vegan ice cream is a must-order nomnom. Last time we tried their amazing Chocolate Milk Shake, so this time we wanted to try the swirl. There a few flavors to pick from, but Strawberry Chocolate mix is our favorite. Of course, you just can’t forget to add some rainbow sprinkles on top!
