![]() I’m going to blame this on the atmosphere: The KFC on Coney Island Avenue in Brooklyn has a drive through that’s situated in such a way that it winds around the back of the building into an alley, creating a liminal space of chaotic energies corralled in by a high, mildewy wall while you place your order. We knew what we wanted-a shitload of nuggets, plus a couple biscuits, coleslaw, fries, and one of those fucked up little chocolate cakes-but when I pulled up to the speaker I forgot it all. I haven’t been to a fast food drive-thru in a long time (this is not a healthy living brag, I just haven’t had access to a car in a while) and was instantly overwhelmed the last time I went to a drive through was to get the Impossible Whopper at Burger King, and was thrown completely off my game then, too. ![]() I’d checked the online menu of our nearest KFC location ahead of time to make sure they had the nugs not every location would get them on the 10th, but the one close to us did. I brought my boyfriend, also a vegetarian of disgusting tastes, who I’d picked up at Laguardia airport and sat in Brooklyn rush traffic with for the hour prior. Your spirits should be up but your expectations should be on the floor, and you should bring moral support if you can. after sitting in traffic for an hour, on a day when snow has fallen two days before and is still melting in tar-soaked streams, running down storm drains that sounds like heavy rain ideally, what I’m saying, is that you need to do this hungry and excited but also kind of depressed and exhausted. The ideal way to eat these new KFC veggie nuggets, IMHO, is around 4:30 p.m. Burger King has offered a Whopper made by a different company, Impossible, since 2019. Beyond has inked deals with Taco Bell, McDonald’s and Pizza Hut, in addition to KFC, to offer meat-analogues at those chains, too. Beyond has been around for a long time the company was founded in 2009, and their beef replica patties and crumbles, made from pea protein and a bunch of other stuff, are decent. Yet, nutritionists say they should still not be regarded as healthy.KFC started offering vegan chicken nuggets made by Beyond Meat at select locations on Monday, so on Monday, I went to my nearest KFC. ![]() The Beyond Fried Chicken nuggets contain somewhat less calories and fat than KFC's traditional chicken nuggets and about the same amount of sodium.

Comparison with traditional chicken nuggets PETA praised KFC's decision and said that "We’re hopeful that KFC’s Beyond Fried Chicken test marks a new era for the company and that when it sees how much consumers value animals’ lives, it will work to make changes in its supply chain as well". A tweet by KFC after the sell out called it a "Kentucky Fried Miracle". The product sold out in 5 hours, and outsold a week's worth of popcorn chicken sales. Ī KFC restaurant in Atlanta first tested a product called "Beyond Fried Chicken" in 2019. KFC launched the plant-based food with the help of Beyond Meat in response to customer requests.
