About V.G. Burgers

One of the first organic quick-serve restaurants, V.G. Burgers brings new meaning to “fast food,” offering a 100% good-for-you, delicious meal in a familiar, friendly setting.

The menu highlights America’s favorite foods, including five varieties of V.G.’s own specialty burgers with unlimited toppings, crispy-baked fries, sensational frozen desserts and shakes, super-fresh salads and homemade soups. Meals are made-to-order from organic ingredients.

V.G. Burgers’ commitment goes beyond healthy ingredients. All of V.G.’s packaging comes from vegetable sources and is compostable. V.G. Burgers also runs on wind power and continually strives to achieve the goal of zero waste.

V.G.Burgers originated from an idea that Tim Gargiulo had for a fast food veggie restaurant many years ago.

Founded in 2006, V.G. Burgers’ flagship store is in Boulder, Colorado. Future plans include additional V.G. Burgers along Colorado’s Front Range and franchise opportunities in the near future.

I think my discretionary income for eating out just went up. ;)

1. How many miles is it from Tampa to Boulder?

Dammit.

2. Those sound and look delicious!!!

We've been experimenting with making different kinds of veg burgers this summer (I think our fave so far is the Chicago Diner burger). It would be great to go to a place with so many choices, though!! :)

7. Where'd you find the burger recipes? I'd love to try them. nt

8. The latest (I think) Vegetarian Times has a whole article on them.

I'm pretty sure it's the July/August issue. :)

10. Good tip - I'll check it out - thanks! nt

3. Lucky you! And my opinion of Boulder might improve slightly.

Since the euthanasia en masse of pit bulls in Denver, I shunned everything about that state.

4. I never heard about that

peacebuzzard! OMG!! :( :( :(

6. It is entirely absurd and true.

ANIMAL LAW COALITION
Denver's Holocaust: Call For An End To The Pit Bull Ban
April 15, 2007 : 12:00 AM
Thousands of pit bulls and pit mixes have been evacuated from Denver since the city resumed enforcement of its controversial pit bull ban in May, 2005.

What is worse, a recent lawsuit claims at least 1,100 pit bulls and pit mixes have been killed since then as Denver tries to eliminate all pits from the city and county. Some estimates put the death toll much higher at at least 2,000. dogs.

There is no requirement any of the dogs must be dangerous or potentially dangerous. They are banned or killed simply because of their breed.

As the case of Margolius v Denver demonstrates, it is far from clear that animal control and other law enforcement agencies can identify pit bull mixes accurately. Dogs not covered by the ban may have lost their lives because of this vague, overreaching law.

In the Margolius case it was proven animal control officers could not identify a “pit bull terrier” beyond a reasonable doubt under the Denver ordinance which includes along with the banned purebred "any dog displaying the majority of physical characteristics of any of these breeds".

As with most breed specific legislation Denver adopted its pit bull ordinance in response to injuries caused by dogs identified as pit bulls. In Denver’s case 2 attacks precipitated the passage of an ordinance banning all pit bulls. A copy of the Denver ordinance, Section 8-55 of the Denver Revised Municipal Code, can be found in Animal Law Coalition's Resources.

On July 24, 1989, the Denver City Council introduced D.R.M.C. § 8-55 Pit bulls prohibited. The ordinance was passed on August 1, 1989 and signed by the mayor, Frederico Pena, the following day. Almost no time for debate and study or consideration of real solutions.

Some amendments were later passed and the final ordinance went into effect October 27, 1989.

The state Supreme Court has not yet had an opportunity to decide if the ban is constitutional. A lawsuit filed this week will give the court that opportunity. For more on this new case, click here. A Lawsuit Challenges Denver's Pit Bull Ban

This fur baby gets such a bad rap. Everywhere.
:( :( :(

On edit, however, if I am ever in Boulder, I would like to eat at the veggie place!

5. That sounds awesome.....

...wish they had one here...:-(

9. Wow! These are quite good & very filling!

So I've been there twice & I've had the falafel burger & the black bean burger. Very good & very filling! Not a wimpy burger. :thumbsup: :thumbsup: In addition to the hummus they put on the falafel burger they offered a dollop of Goddess dressing. It was so good!

However, the fries didn't look appealing & the portions were ridiculously small for $3 so I didn't order any.

[and-justice-for-all]

11. That sounds so good..

I had to send them an email saying so.

12. There's an interview with Chrissie Hynde in the latest Veg Times

They interviewed her about her new veg restaurant in Ohio, and she complained about the lack of veg*n fast food. Hopefully this will take off around the country!
