In a curious comparison, let's delve into the divergent realms of veggie burgers and espresso served by fast-food heavyweights, Burger King and McDonald's respectively. Burger King's Impossible Whopper, plant-based and strikingly similar to its Whopper counterpart in taste and texture, anchors their veggie burger lineup, while McDonald's eschews a dedicated burger but offers the P.L.T sandwich, a plant-lettuce-tomato rendition that's been a tri-state area sensation for a limited time. Stepping outside the burger realm, McDonald's espresso, smooth and robust, is customizable with milk or froth for a variety of coffee concoctions available at McCafé - a contrast to Burger King's coffee absence in its menu. These culinary offerings not only cater to diverse customer preferences but also reflect industry trends, with plant-based diets and top-tier coffee in high demand.
