Plnt Burger
967 Florida Ave NW, Washington, DC 20001
Phone: 202-960-6756
Visit Website
Located within select Whole Foods stores across the Washington, D.C., area, Plnt Burger is one restaurant not to be missed. Plnt Burger is – you guessed it – entirely plant based!
One of the fan favorite locations is their Tyson’s Corner location, for their spacious rooftop patio. While all locations of Plnt Burger are fast casual, this location allows friends to gather in a relaxed environment. One of their menu items not to miss – the “Chik-n-fuguy” sandwich. This sandwich is the “food waste success story” of Plnt Burger – they use oyster mushroom stems, a part of the mushroom that is less often used, and they have created a sandwich that is too spectacular to leave out.
If Plnt sounds familiar to you, it might be because Celebrity Chef Spike Mendelshon is one of the co-founders. Chef Spike is active on social media, and often promotes sustainability and has taken a stand against food waste.
