Profile

You might be surprised by the business model that inspired Zen Burger, the fast-food spinoff of Zen Palate. “It’s just like McDonald’s,” says co-owner James Tu, referring to his burger (Special ZenSauce and all), his free-range-egg sandwich with ZenSausage, and his chicken nuggets—all of them made from proprietary blends of vegetables, grains, and soy products. The soft-serve in the shakes is dairy-free, and the ZenTuna is mixed with Veganaise. There’s even a kids’ menu, with smaller portions and a toy included with every order (if that doesn’t work as an eat-your-veggies bribe, there are always warm chocolate-chip cookies for dessert). — Robin Raisfeld and Rob Patronite

My husband and I totally dug the bright decor and amazing vegetarian junk food. I wish there were as many Zen Burgers as there are Starbucks locations. Total fans!
