Eating Vegan Fast Food for 24 Hours #2 | What Chris Eats in A Day

How's it going guys? I'm Chris and I'm back with round two of our fast food challenge. So basically I'm going to be eating fast food all day today, all vegan of course. We put out our first video doing this last month and it did really well, so we're excited to do another round. So previously we went to Starbucks in the morning, Taco Bell, and I can't even remember where we went. Carl's Jr. And we went to Carl's Jr. They have the new Beyond Burger. So today we're starting breakfast off at Burger King and then we're going to do Panda Express for lunch. They have brand new vegan options that I'm super excited to check out. And for dinner, I don't think we've really figured that out yet. So I think we're just going to get the day started and see where it goes. I'm also a little flushed right now. We just got done with the gym. So let's head to Burger King. Here we are. We have arrived. The king's land. So I don't think I've been to Burger King in I don't even know how long. Years. Same. And I think the only thing they have on the menu is an apple pie and french toast sticks that are vegan. So we're getting the french toast sticks for breakfast. Hi, can I just have a five piece french toast sticks please? Yeah. That's all. Thank you. So I guess it came in the nugget bag, but Chris just transferred it and we're actually just going to use our own maple syrup. We have more in the pantry if you need more. I think that might be out. So Chris replated it for a photo, of course. Of course. So I used our own maple syrup because the first ingredient was corn starch on the other one. Corn syrup? Corn syrup. Yeah, I guess it is vegan, but it's not the best. Also, I looked at the ingredients of these online. I'll pop it in right here. They're not the best, but it's still vegan. So I hope I don't get sick. It actually smells really good. It tastes really good. Have you ever had these before? Nope. Ooh, they're really good. I'm honestly surprised they're vegan because like usually french toast has eggs, right? Yeah, accidentally vegan. What do they use? And they're pre-fried in soybean oil, so I don't think there's any cross-contamination with the fries. So that's good. It might be different per location, but that's what I read at least. So we discovered that these were vegan because of the PETA website that outlined the options. We'll link that down below. It's a great resource when it comes to finding fast food that is vegan-friendly. So thank you, PETA. These are pretty bomb. So you want to try one? Sure. Oh, we also want to note that Chris usually... oh, Barry has his jacket. Chris usually does intermittent fasting, and so we purchased these, but we had to wait a little while for his window to eat, so he re-toasted them in the toaster oven. Yep, so it is now noon. Oh my god, these are really good. Yeah, they're good. Oh wow, they kind of taste like churros. Like if you dusted these with powdered sugar. I would not eat these every day, but it's a fun little treat. Yeah, if you're on the road and need breakfast. I also read on... you'll probably feel like crap honestly if you eat this for breakfast. Well, let's see how we feel. I read on the PETA article that they have oatmeal. Do they? So we can get oatmeal there and just get it without milk because I think that by default they put milk in it, so you can just ask them to make it with water. The only thing with that is I don't know how it would taste. I guess they probably put brown sugar in it, but I'll put the info down below. It's another option. You're cut off. All right, see you in the next meal. See you for lunch or second lunch. All right, so I'm about to call Panda Express to see if they have or if they transition their eggplant tofu and I think it was the chow mein to be vegan. The websites that we were reading said the end of the month, but it could vary by location, so I'm just gonna call and make sure that the location by us has a vegan version. I'm hoping so. So let's see what happens. Hi, how's it going? I read online that you're transitioning your eggplant tofu to be vegan. Can you confirm if your location has a vegan one? Yeah, the eggplant tofu dish that you offer? Oh, okay. What about the chow mein? Got it. Okay, thank you. Bye. Well, that's a fail. Hi, how's it going? I read online that you're transitioning your eggplant tofu and chow mein to be vegan. I read online that you're transitioning to your eggplant tofu dish and the chow mein to be vegan friendly. I just wanted to confirm that your location it would be vegan friendly there for those two dishes. No? Okay, thank you. Hi, how's it going? I read online that you'll be transitioning your eggplant tofu dish and the chow mein to be vegan friendly. I was just wondering if your location had a vegan friendly option for those two. Oh, I read online that the eggplant tofu dish that you carry is going to be vegan friendly as the end of this month and I was just curious to know if it is. Oh, okay. Thank you. No worries. Thank you. Bye. Well, I give up. All right, so the Panda Express will definitely be in the next video. I hope. But as of now, we're gonna figure out another vegan fast food lunch option and we'll let you guys know what we should choose, right? Yeah. I'm like a random voice in the background right now. Yeah. It's time for lunch. We kind of failed with Panda Express. I called three locations and none of them had the vegan options yet. So, the article that we read from Fudge News? No. Well, they wrote about it. They said it would be rolling out at the end of February to most locations, but it's the absolute end of February today and I guess Vancouver, Washington didn't make the cut. So, we're going to Panera instead and then we're also going to... I'm excited. I guess they're both fast food-y. I know, I think Subway, there's the most locations around the world. Shit, my camera's going to die. Forever. Uh-oh. So, yeah, let's do it and show you what we get. Oh, it's blurry. So, on the Panera website, they actually have an article about eating vegan at their restaurant. So, that's super helpful. So, they go through all the bakery items, bagels, breads, what you can eat for breakfast, salads, soups, broth bowls. So, I think I know what I'm gonna get and I'm super excited about it. I'm gonna get two things, I think, just because. Ten vegetable soup in a bread bowl. Yeah. And then the soba noodle bowl with edamame. So, I ordered a ten veggie soup in a bread bowl and what was it? Edamame. The soba noodle bowl with edamame and I got an apple and chips for a side. They also have a lentil... What is it? The lentil quinoa bowl, which is vegan too, but we didn't get that. Now, we're at Subway. We just got Panera, but we just decided to get this for later, so we don't have to come back out again. So, it's been a little while since I've had Subway. Let's get dinner. Should be good. I thought they were closed for a second. Can I do a six-inch Italian? No meat, no cheese, just all veggies. All right, no thanks. No, that's all. And the guacamole and then I'll do also the brown mustard. Salt, pepper would be good. That's okay. That's all. All right, we got our beautiful sourdough bread bowl. Wow. Now, we have our veggie soup. Hope this is a veggie soup. I'm gonna flip. Really? It's chicken noodle. But really. But what the hell. And they forgot Chris's chips. Now, I have to go back again. Fast food places, come on. All right, just a quick update. I just got back to Panera. I'm gonna swap out the chicken noodle for the 10 veggie. I guess this is a lesson to always check my food. They messed up a Taco Bell in the last video, so I should have checked it this time, but I'm a fool, I guess. So, gonna swap it out and go home and eat. All right, we're back. All right, here we go. So, smells so much better than the other one. So, I got the 10 veggie soup. It's a lot of veggies. I'm gonna add it to the bread bowl. That looks really good. And then, we also got this soba noodle with edamame. They gave me the chicken one. I didn't even check. They did? No, it's the edamame. All right. So, they both look good. Smell good. I'm gonna take photos and then eat. Here we go. Time to dig in. It's actually really good. Want to try it? Yeah, let's get a close-up. Want to dip that bread? Do this, too. It smells spicy. Is it spicy? Is it peppery, though? Maybe I'm smelling bell pepper. No. No? A little kick, but no. So, one thing I've been thinking about with these videos, the fast food videos, is like, I guess all the waste that comes with it. Like, they put an apple in like this container. I don't know if we could fully prevent it, like with to-go, or like ask for... But, we're probably just gonna start eating at the restaurant. Yeah. If we do this again. Yeah, I was just concerned about... It doesn't feel good to have all this. It's a freaking apple in there, but I was also... I'm a little concerned about, like, filming in public places. I don't know how, like, thorough we could be about things, but I guess we can just, like, find seats in the corner and, like, do our own thing. For sure. So, that's our bad. It's really good. Oh my god. What is this? Ten... Ten... Ten vegetables. This is so good. We should make a recipe like this for the blog. It is super oily, though, but I feel like I'm just eating oil. Yummy. Now, I have this soba noodle bowl with edamame. Not bad. Not bad. The noodles look interesting. Yeah, it's not my favorite. They're, like, speckled. And then we got chips. Freaking love chips. Maybe we need to mix it. Yeah. I feel like it's not as flavorful as the soup. Yeah, I agree. I wouldn't get this again. What's cool is, um, these are on, like, the national menus, right? Because I know, like, for example, the Panda Express, that's still rolling out. We still don't know when it's going to come to our area and all that. And then Carl's Jr. from our last video, um, the Beyond Burger's not widely available yet, but I think it's going to start rolling out. It is. Someone messaged me and they said that they didn't have it yet. I think it's at most locations. Oh, okay. I don't think it's at all, though, right? I thought it was, but it might not be. Um, so, yeah. I just wanted to mention that because this is widely available. Can I just bite it? Mm-hmm. Oh, that's a mess. Mmm. Dinner time. So, like Chris mentioned earlier, we went to Panera and then we went to Subway right after because it was right by it. And, um, it was just so much easier. We didn't have to leave the house again. So, I tried to film when he was ordering, but then the camera, the camera died. So, then I, like, tried to take out my phone. It was a whole fiasco. Yeah, and I was, like, trying to tell him to start all over, but, like, he was already ordering. He's, like, I'm not going to start all over because the lady would have been, like, what the hell. Um, so, let's go over. Oh, Subway, what breads can you get? Is it? So, Bear, off the table. Berry, off. Hey, come on. All right. So, I got the Italian bread, but I think you can also get the seven grain wheat. Um, let me double check. There are a few others you can get. What website were you using for this? Google. Google. So, most of these fast food restaurants have some sort of allergen information on their website, too. So, if you read something on PETA or wherever, you can always verify on the actual website of the restaurant. Yeah, since they're really large chains, most of them have, like, like, the ingredients. Yeah, you know, they at Italian, Italian, and sourdough. I didn't see sourdough. I don't think they had sourdough. Maybe they used to. Yeah. So, we'll link this PETA article down below. Um, they go over most, they go over a lot of things, actually. Yeah, so, one other thing, too, at select locations, not up here. I called most of the Subways in our area, or I looked online at their menus, and, um, they didn't have them, but some, some, I think a thousand plus restaurants, uh, Subway restaurants have black bean patties, and it's called a Malibu veggie patty, which is also vegan. The regular garden veggie patty that they have is non-vegan. It has eggs in it, so. Those bastards. I know, and then I think they rolled out falafel to a thousand locations, too. Oh, I saw that. Yeah, that's really cool. Of course, none of them are available by us, but if it does happen to be available in your area, check it out. Let us know. I'd love to try that. What'd you get? So, I got a six-inch veggie sub veggie delight with, um, just all the different veggies. Cucumbers, olives, onions, banana peppers, guac, mustard, spinach, tomatoes. I think that's about it. I'm gonna put my own vegan cheese on it. Salt and pepper. Salt and pepper. I'm gonna put my own vegan cheese. Um, I was thinking about putting tofurkey slices, too, but I think I'm just gonna go for the cheese. If you're eating in-store, feel free to bring your own vegan cheese. Um, you can put it on afterwards. You gonna toast it? Yeah, I'm gonna toast it. So, I didn't have them toasted in the store because I was planning on putting cheese on it here and toast. I'm gonna do that, and then we'll eat. So, Chris added some, yeah, just some shredded cheese. That's actually all we had and toasted it. This is Daiya cheese. It looks really good. Looks so good. I'm gonna burn my hands doing this. The only thing is, oh, did it get soggy, actually? It did, so I was gonna say it did get soggy, but after I toasted it, it's a little more. Sandwich king himself. Mediocre at best. Yeah? I think it would have been better if it was fresh, honestly. Yeah, I think I messed up by, um, ordering this earlier and just letting it get soggy. I think if it was nice and toasty, fresh out the toaster at Subway, it would be bomb. Yeah, I think so. Also drinking a modern times beer. Loving it. Got that at Subway. Imagine. That would be really cool. So, bring your own jelly slices or vegan cheese to Subway or bring it home. Would easily take this to the next level. I mean, I just put the cheese and it's good, but I feel like without it, it would have just been like, I guess I'll eat this, you know? Somebody's gotta get like a hummus or something. That'd be really good. I feel like it's really, sorry guys, I'm loading the dishwasher. That's where I am right now, but yeah, I feel like a hummus is easy. Yeah. And I think that's appealing to non-vegans too. Yeah, especially places that have the falafel. Yeah, maybe they do. Well, I just think that it's a fast food option. Yep. It was easy. It was affordable and it's available almost, not almost anywhere. I don't want to say that, but it's very widespread. I mean, Subway had like the most franchises, right? Or something per, I don't know what. Sorry, sorry. When we went on our road trip, Subway was literally almost at every rest stop we went to. Yeah. So I don't know. It's just, it's a good option. And if you have, like Chris was saying, if you have the option to bring your own cheese, even bring your own hummus or spread of some sort to elevate the sandwich. For sure. But still a good option. I'd get it if we're on a road trip or we're in a pinch. For sure. I didn't even try it, but I feel like I know what it would taste like. It's just bread and veggies. You probably had it before. Yeah. I think that wraps it up. I don't know if we're going to do dessert. Yeah. I hope you guys enjoyed this video. Thank you guys for watching. If you have any more. Ew. Oh my God. If you have any more suggestions for fast food restaurants or just like chain restaurants, places you guys want us to check out or cover in these videos, let us know. I really want to do the Panda Express when it happens. I really want to do that too. That'll be really fun. Really sad that it didn't happen, but we tried. So maybe part three will happen. We'll see. That's it for today's video. I hope you had fun hanging with us. We love y'all. We're going to have some beers and just chill and have a good night or morning or whatever time of day it is.
