The A&W chain in Canada has had the "Beyond Meat" burger for over 1 year and its been a massive success for them.

I love these burgers! They have actually helped me transition to completely beef-free since they address that occasional fast food burger craving.

It’s interesting to note that A&W Canada is entirely separate from A&W in the US. A&W Canada is much higher quality.

It was honestly a shock how terrible the US A&W was when I tried it. Canada's A&W is indeed MUCH better.

Really enjoy them but I found they were a bit too thin from A&W. Managed to get the retail version (4oz vs the A&W 3oz) and was really impressed. There is one thing that I've found with them that I don't like. They have a very peculiar smell (think cat food) while cooking which tends to linger.

I find the condiments on the burgers to be the more pronounced taste. I don't get that beefy flavor but its a nice alternative.
