I did want to note, and I know people are going to comment and say things.
What's up everyone? It's Jasmine. Chris. Welcome back to another video.
So today we are bringing back our vegan fast food series. Finally. I know it's been a long time.
We thought it would be fun to bring back the series and it'll be in a different setting.
We're gonna have everything in our car today, but it'll still be a lot of fun.
We have a few places picked out so we're just gonna like share
one item from each and then hopefully it's good.
Yeah. Yeah. And also we've done, like I mentioned before, a whole series with these.
So we will have the link down below and also in the cards.
And you can see us try a bunch of different vegan options at
fast food places that may be accessible to you.
We have a lot of them now, right? Like seven or eight?
A lot. Yeah. I don't know.
But go check them out. We will link them there.
And we've also tried vegan options at popular fast food chains or restaurant chains as well.
We're going to our first place right now, which is Wendy's.
You know that song everyone uses on all their TikToks?
Today we're going to Wendy's. I'm gonna show you all the vegan options.
So the menu here is very limited.
There's not much that we're gonna get, but we're gonna order right now.
So you guys can hear what we get.
Hi, can I have a plain baked potato with chives? Nothing else on it?
This is kind of a strange request, but can I just get a
vegetable like a hamburger bun with veggies and then french fries on it?
All right.
And that's all.
So like you heard Chris say, those are the vegan options.
And you can probably get some drinks here that are vegan.
We didn't get any drinks, but we brought water.
Is there anything else that's vegan that you saw online?
That's it, I think, unfortunately for now.
How much did you pay?
$3.99.
Wow, $3.99 for all of this.
Thanks so much for the good one.
Oh, it smells pretty good.
This smells delicious.
Lettuce, tomatoes, onion, pickles, and french fries.
And then over here, plain baked potato with chives.
So the trick is...
Bring your own condiments.
All right, so we got some vegan sour cream that I brought.
Some vegan butter that I brought.
Utensils.
Vegan cheese.
We didn't have orange, vegan orange cheese.
We came prepared today.
I did want to note, and I know people are going to comment and say things.
The french fries are cooked on shared equipment.
So if that's something you're concerned about, this probably isn't the best option for you.
I'd say any fast food place that you go, there is the risk of cross-contamination,
whether it be a shared fryer.
Any non-vegan place you go.
Yeah, any non-vegan place.
There's going to be some cross-contamination, most likely,
unless there's a dedicated work area or cooking area, which probably isn't likely.
At least for now.
Hopefully in the future, that is something places will implement.
But it's just a disclaimer that we like to give,
because we want to share as much information about this as possible.
So if you are going, please know that there will be shared equipment.
But in my opinion, and a lot of people's opinion,
it doesn't make it any less vegan because no additional animals are being harmed.
It's an unfortunate situation.
And we don't live in a vegan world.
And if you want to make sure that your food isn't cross-contaminated,
then we would just suggest going to an all-vegan place or preparing your food at home.
But the point of these videos is just bring awareness to
vegan options that are more accessible,
vegan options that are available if you are in a pinch or on a road trip,
vegan options that you probably didn't know were there,
and also vegan options that are available at familiar places.
No matter how sad they might be.
Take a shot.
Take a shot for every time I say vegan options in this video.
There you go.
Anyways, we're going to dress up this potato.
I guess we'll eat that one first.
Let's eat this one.
Wait, did you get ketchup?
I forgot to ask for ketchup.
Is there ketchup in there?
There's probably ketchup.
That's gonna be a dry ass sandwich, let me tell you.
Should have asked for ketchup.
We could put a sour cream on it.
Ew.
They call this the fry witch, at least I saw that online.
Lettuce, tomato, onion, pickles, french fries on a hamburger bun.
You can also bring your own patty.
Imagine.
It's actually not terrible.
The fries are really good, so.
It's actually not terrible.
I know.
Like, this is a plausible option.
I probably want more fries, but.
I would want ketchup.
If you dip that in ketchup, beautiful.
Chris is gonna put some vegan sour cream.
I used to freaking love baked potatoes as a kid.
Me too.
There was one point where I had one,
we probably went to like a steakhouse or something,
and I had a baked potato.
Because my mom didn't really make stuff like this at home,
but we would have it when we would go out to dinner.
And there was one time where I had one,
and I just like became obsessed.
And so I would have my mom cook me baked potatoes at home.
Not I would have her, I would ask her to.
My mom would gladly do it.
Oh, we should have tried the potato without the stuff.
Sorry guys.
You know what it would have probably tasted like?
Potato.
Why did I say it like that?
That's what I was thinking.
How is it?
Did you try it?
It's actually really freaking good.
I would just eat a plain potato with ketchup too.
Actually, why didn't we just get...
Plain potato with chives and ketchup.
That would have been delicious.
I'm mad at you.
Would have been nasty.
Would have been delicious.
I love potatoes.
Those memes.
Potato and me, and then potatoes in any form.
And they're like crying or like, I don't remember.
It's good.
It's something.
What do you think?
What are we rating this, the vegan options at Wendy's?
Three and a half.
If you're looking for good vegan options, fast food.
There are way better places to go.
Taco Bell is, I think that's the first place I would go.
Taco Bell, Carl's Jr, Burger King, Del Taco.
Because Burger King, Del Taco, and Carl's Jr, they all have a vegan meat option now.
Or a plant-based meat option, I should say.
And then Taco Bell, they're actually going to be adding Beyond Meat.
I don't know when, but you can get anything fresco style.
And that means they would just replace the meat with beans.
And then it's no sour cream, no cheese.
And it's still really tasty.
And they're bringing the potatoes back.
So if you can, if you're watching this and they have the potatoes,
you can put the potatoes in anything.
We didn't know that when we went.
But you can get a vegan crunch wrap with the potatoes.
And it's really tasty.
So the reason we're at Wendy's today.
We haven't been here.
It's really close to our house.
If you have seen any of our, or if you haven't seen any of our other fast food videos,
we've been to so many at this point where we're trying to find new ones.
That's why, like, this wouldn't be our first choice to go to.
But it's not, it's still, I would still eat it.
I don't know.
The thing is, I'm not picky with food either.
If I'm hungry.
If I was ever out with people and they wanted to go to Wendy's, I would go get this.
I personally would probably just get the baked potato with ketchup.
Yeah, I could do that.
And that would be fine.
Or if like, if this wasn't here, I would get the sandwich with ketchup.
I would get the baked potato and put a french fries in it.
I thought about that, but I don't know if that's too much.
All right.
I think we are off to spot number two.
Here we go.
We're pulling up to Sonic and Sonic does have a drive-in and a drive-thru.
We're just going to do the drive-thru.
I don't know.
I don't know why, but we're just going to do it.
Thank you for choosing Sonic.
My name is Hattie.
What can I get started for y'all?
Hi, can I just have a small order of onion rings, a small order of tots,
and then a soft pretzel with no cheese?
What else for you?
Can I just have some ketchup with that also?
Yeah, of course.
Anything else?
That's it.
$7.56 for you.
Thank you.
The stuff that we all ordered is accidentally vegan.
And the way that you could check is you can pull up the allergen menu for all these places
and you can figure out if they have dairy, if there's eggs,
you can also check if it has soy and gluten, if those things are of concern to you as well.
Some places do also have like the full ingredient list,
but the allergen menu is a good way to just look quickly to see if it has eggs or dairy
or anything like that.
Same with the cross-contamination as Wendy's.
If you don't like it, then this is not the place for you.
It's cool here that they have onion rings because they're traditionally not vegan at
most places.
Why?
They usually have eggs.
So I think it's like the onions battered in eggs and then fried.
So I'm more of a french fry, tater tot kind of gal.
So yeah, we just got sides here.
You just straight up ignore me.
Yeah, so anyways, you know, we got some sides.
The door is unlocked for you.
From what I've read online, the Texas toast here is vegan.
It's thick, like thick slices of bread.
And you can probably do something similar.
Like we did at Wendy's where you can get lettuce, tomato, onions,
and like the veggies they have with onion rings, tater tots,
or french fries or all three on a sandwich.
Because we're going to a bunch of different places,
I felt like that would just like weigh us down a little bit.
So I'm already feeling a little weird.
I have a headache, but it's not related to this.
So we just got some sides and a pretzel.
Now we're going to eat.
So we got ketchup, everybody.
Those are for you.
We're going to take a quick thumbnail, BRB.
This pretzel kind of smells like a donut.
I think it's these.
It smells good.
No, smell it.
Kind of smells like a donut or like a beignet or something, right?
These taste like sweet almost.
Don't knock these down.
I got an idea.
I'm going to use my Wendy's container.
This container, my mom's Filipino.
This is going to be saved as a Tupperware, I can guarantee right now.
I'm going to use the top of the container for ketchup.
These are sweet.
Try this.
I'll try it.
I don't know.
Onion rings are just like so weird to me.
I've always loved french fries more.
Look at the onion inside.
Ew, that's gross.
It tastes like vanilla.
Yeah, it's sweet.
Why does it taste like that?
That's so weird.
Do you like them?
No.
Do you like them?
No, I just ate all of them.
I mean, tater tots are pretty standard.
Oh my god, it's so good.
Try this.
Tater tots are the way, man.
I never said they weren't.
Connie said onion rings were, you know what I'm saying?
No.
I think that some of their slushies and drinks are also vegan.
I think at least the fruity ones.
In general, that's not something that I'm drawn to.
I didn't want to get it for this just because it's not something that I would get.
No, but it's an option if that's you.
They have that blue one that I feel like everyone gets, right?
Oh, I'm excited to try that.
I am so pale.
I need a 10.
Are you sure this is vegan?
From the research I've done.
It tastes buttery.
If they got this and then just tossed it in cinnamon sugar, it would be a donut, you know?
I think it's just-
It's vegan.
It's just oil.
There's just oil.
It's good.
We could have switched.
We could have got marinara sauce instead of the cheese.
End the video.
It's done.
Why do you look like Uncle Four?
Okay.
Get marinara sauce if you get this pretzel.
It's damn good.
We just found out right now.
This is good.
I guess it's probably oil.
Pretzel's the best thing.
It's not a typical pretzel.
That's a delicious pretzel.
I would just come here to get this.
The tots-
With marinara sauce.
They just taste like tots and they're good.
Would eat again.
Would never buy in my life.
The onion ring?
Yeah.
If you like onion rings, then buy.
I'm just kidding.
Okay, next place.
We're actually gonna get dessert right now
and then we're gonna go to another place for some savory food.
We would have done this last, but the last-
Welcome to Dairy Queen.
How can I help you?
Hi, how's it going?
Could I get the two non-vegan dilly bars?
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
The two non-dairy dilly bars.
Yes.
Yep.
I got you, bro.
Go ahead and come to my window, man.
I got you.
Sounds great.
Thank you.
Yeah, no problem.
I don't know if they have anything else that is vegan.
Maybe the fries, but I haven't actually fully looked into it.
But I would assume the fries would be the safest thing or maybe like a drink.
It's also very cool they have non-dairy ice cream bars here.
Yeah.
Oh, pretzel sticks.
We should have checked on that one.
Too many pretzels today.
I will put on the screen if they are.
So we're getting dessert before we go to another place to get savory food
and we would have done this last, but the last place we're going,
we're actually getting some food for my parents for dinner
and we wanted it to be as fresh as possible for them.
So we're gonna sacrifice our stomachs for my parents.
Love them.
What is a dilly bar?
I'm ready to go through the drive-thru.
I've never, I've never heard, is a dilly bar like, is there like non-vegan ones?
Yeah.
It's basically like vanilla ice cream and like chocolate on a stick and it's circular.
Damn, this is so sick.
It says vegan right on it.
I'm excited.
It is made with coconut cream.
It is gluten-free and it is vegan.
Are you excited?
I didn't know what a dilly bar was until you told me in the car.
I was just like, we're getting non-dairy, whatever.
I can't bite it with my front teeth.
Bite, bite it.
My teeth are cold.
Coconut.
It's not as creamy as I thought it was gonna be, you know what I mean?
But it's good.
It's good.
I'll eat this again.
If your family comes to Dairy Queen, you can be like, oh, I'll come.
I'm gonna get a non-dairy dilly bar.
There you go.
The inside's not like the best vegan ice cream I've had.
If you want a really good chocolate covered ice cream bar, definitely get the vegan Magnum bars.
They have them at Target.
They have them at Walmart.
So Delicious has a good one too.
So Delicious.
Oh my god, the So Delicious ones are so good.
So Delicious also has ice cream sandwiches.
Side note.
But these are good if you're going to Dairy Queen and you want to get something sweet.
Yeah, I feel like the ice cream could be more flavorful.
But overall, the chocolate is what makes it good.
It's really sweet.
And simple.
Oh my god, my teeth hurt.
My teeth hurt too.
It's really cold.
All right, well, we are off to our next location.
This place is called Pita Pit.
We are actually going to be ordering on the phone because I always feel awkward when I go in there
and I film us when we're ordering because I don't want to make anybody uncomfortable.
So we're going to order right now.
Okay, they have falafel, beyond meat, and black bean.
And they also have a hummus and a garden.
Look at this menu.
Jesus.
Oh wow, they have a whole plant-based section.
Wow, really?
This is funny because we didn't even know this before coming here.
We knew that they had vegan stuff, but I didn't know they had a whole plant-based section on their website.
So Pita Pit has an allergen menu and on the allergen menu, there's actually a vegan column.
And it has check marks anytime something is vegan, which is super helpful.
So we will link all the resources that we used for this video down below
in case you want to check them out before you go to the places.
Thank you Pita Pit for doing that.
That is very helpful.
The only thing that is not on here is the beyond meat.
And then we looked at other websites and the beyond meat isn't there either.
And I can't figure out if it's just like really new.
It might be like a specialty thing, yeah.
So we just want to, we're going to confirm.
I think we should call.
We're going to call the Pita Pit that's directly in front of us and just confirm that it's vegan.
And then we're going to place our order.
Just wanted to give you an update.
I got the beyond meat with hummus.
I was supposed to get buffalo sauce.
I don't really see any on here, but maybe it's in there somewhere.
Then olives, spinach, tomato.
Did I say hummus?
I think so.
And then mine is a falafel wrap with hummus, cucumbers, tomato, lettuce, spinach.
Got very simple.
Beautiful.
So that's what we're going to have for dinner.
That's delicious.
I wouldn't say this was really fast food.
It took like 20 minutes.
We don't know how long it was done for.
The estimate they gave us was like 20 minutes.
We also ordered four.
It was fine.
We waited.
But if you're in a pinch and you really do the food quickly, I'm not sure if this is the place to go.
It's not like drive-thru status.
But they also have that order online option.
You can order online before you go there if that will be helpful for time purposes.
It's good.
I like it really flavorful.
Try this one.
The things that you'll like this one way better.
I'm surprised because I thought the beyond meat would be tastier.
But this one's way the falafel classic.
Falafel all the way.
Yeah, the beyond's like a little weird.
I don't eat it, but it's a little sog.
I don't like how it's seasoned.
I don't know.
It's soggy.
What do you mean you don't like how it's seasoned?
It's not even seasoned.
Don't get the beyond meat if you go.
Get the falafel.
Way better.
So that concludes our video for today.
I really hope you enjoyed it.
And if you did, please let us know in the comments down below.
Give us a thumbs up and consider subscribing.
Make sure you check out our other fast food videos.
We'll link that playlist down below as well along with any other resources that we use to
get inspiration for this video and kind of help us out with what's vegan and where.
And we'll link any allergen menus that we used as well if you want to check those out.
And I think that is it for today.
So we will see you in our next video.
We hope you're doing well and love you guys.
Bye.
