Celebrity chef Spike Mendelsohn’s plant-based restaurant chain, PLNT Burger, is serving up delicious, cruelty-free holiday specials that are now available for delivery, takeout, and catering.
The holiday feast, curated by Mendelsohn himself, starts with a winter green salad, which has roasted beets, delicata squash, pumpkin seeds, Follow Your Heart goat cheese, and a sherry vinaigrette. The main course is a truffled mushroom wellington with red wine jus, which comes accompanied by citrus-glazed carrots, maple-glazed Brussels sprouts and apples with candied walnuts, and potato and kohlrabi gratin. Finally, this delicious meal ends with a chocolate peppermint mousse dessert.
PLNT Burger is also running an ‘Eight Crazy Days of Hanukkah’ special until December 18 with an $8 spicy or crispy chik’n funguy sandwich and small herb fry combos.
These plant-based dishes make for hassle-free holiday meal planning, giving us one less thing to worry about during these stressful times.
