From region to region, Roam Burger looks to the ocean to inspire a new plant-based menu item
“Our customers have requested a plant-based protein in addition to our already popular veggie patty. The Vegan Bacon Cheeseburger collaboration with Umaro Foods and Violife is the perfect opportunity to bring something new and exciting to the menu in a meaningful way,” says Joshua Spiegelman, owner/co-founder of Roam.
The partnership between Roam, Umaro Foods Bacon and Violife is a “perfect match”, said Beth Zotter, CEO of Umaro Foods. With plant-based foods in high demand, Roam was eager to introduce more vegan alternatives with clean labels that satisfy ingredient-conscious customers. In both cases, Umaro and Violife hit the mark.
Umaro, who initially rose to fame through the bidding war he started on Shark Tank, makes vegan bacon with sushi-grade nori protein and bacon fat with sea moss extracts that give a crispy texture. Violife offers an award-winning 100% vegan, non-dairy alternative that looks, tastes and melts like cheese. Made with coconut oil and fortified with vitamin B12, the vegan cheese alternative offers texture and flavor to complement the veggie patty and crispy vegan bacon.
“This is our take on the nostalgic bacon cheeseburger, but with a vegan twist. With many people gravitating to a plant-based diet, we wanted to provide a fun, delicious, and nutrient-dense menu option,” says Lynn Gorfinkle, owner/co-founder of Roam. Roam donates a portion of the proceeds from every Vegan Bacon Cheeseburger to the Surfrider Foundation, an organization dedicated to the protection and enjoyment of the ocean, waves and beaches of the world for all.
