“A&W is bringing the same quality that made our traditional burgers famous to the Beyond Burger,” said Sarah Blasi Mueller, senior vice president of Marketing and Development. The Beyond Burger is perfectly grilled and served on a slightly toasted bun, dressed with Papa sauce, lettuce, tomato, onion and pickles. “In our tests we learned that a lot of guests want the best of new and old,” Blasi Mueller added. “That’s why we are offering a Beyond Burger version of our Original Bacon Cheeseburger that adds salad dressing, hickory-smoked bacon, American cheese, lettuce, tomato, onions and more pickles.” Hearty eaters may add a second patty to either sandwich.
