Created by the team at Veggie Grill, a plant-based restaurant group in the U.S, Stand-Up Burgers, the 100 percent vegan fast-casual restaurant serving up bold burgers, fries and shakes has opened its second location at 204 N Wells St. From the BBQ Bacon Cheeseburger and The Freebird Crispy Chicken Sandwich to the Onion Rings and Save the Animal-Style Fries, Stand-Up Burgers has evolved the classic burger stand and is serving up an all plant-based menu. 

“There has never been a better time to eat sustainably, and we are excited to introduce Stand-Up Burgers to the Chicago community so they can show love for the planet, animals and themselves, one plant-based burger at a time,” said T.K. Pillan, Veggie Grill’s co-founder. “This second Stand-Up Burgers location advances Veggie Grill’s mission to excel plant-based eating nationwide and empower people to eat less meat by providing them with innovative and delicious plant-based experiences.” 

Stand-Up Burgers will partner with various local charities that benefit people, animals and the planet. From April - July, a portion of the proceeds of every purchase of the signature Stand-Up Burger or Stand-Up Shake will go to PAWS Chicago and Earth Hero.

The first Stand-Up Burgers location opened last month in Berkeley, CA. Stand-Up Burgers is the second food concept that Veggie Grill has opened this year to address plant-based options. The company recently launched Más Veggies Taqueria, a virtual vegan Mexican concept, available only for delivery.  

Stand-Up Burger menu items include:

·       THE STAND-UP BURGER – 2x grilled Impossible patty topped with 2x cheese with lettuce, tomato, onion, pickles and special sauce on a brioche bun. 

·       THE O.G. – A grilled Impossible patty layered with cheddar, lettuce, tomato, red onion, pickles and topped with special sauce.

·       CHILI-CHEESE – A grilled Impossible patty with a 3-bean chili topped with cheddar cheese, and crispy onion strings and served on a brioche bun.

·       FLIP THE BIRD SALAD– Crispy Chickin’ tossed in BBQ sauce layered over mixed greens, tomato, roasted corn, black beans, red onion, tortilla strips and a creamy chipotle dressing. 

·       FALAFEL BURGER – Green chickpea falafel topped with roasted peppers, tzatziki, tahini hot sauce, arugula, cucumber and tomato.

·       SAVE THE ANIMAL-STYLE FRIES – Topped with special sauce and grilled onions. 

·       THE CHOC-O-NUTTER - A seasonal chocolate shake with peanut butter fudge and Cap’n Crunch Peanut Butter Cereal.

Stand-Up Burgers will also open an additional location in Chicago at 614 Diversey Pkwy on May 13 with more locations to open across the U.S. in 2021.
