Burger Boss Expands its Vegan Offerings for the New Year

Burger Boss is making it easier for carnivores and vegans to dine together in 2019 with the addition of a new vegan Gouda cheese along with using 100%, non-GMO sunflower oil to turn potatoes into golden fries.  

While all locations will offer the new vegan Gouda cheese, only the Orange County locations in Newport Beach, Tustin and Mission Viejo have fully transitioned to using only sunflower oil.   

Burger Boss offers a house-made black bean patty infused with cilantro and other spices, which can be topped with a slice of vegan Gouda and served bowl-style. The restaurant also has 30-plus toppings and 15 varieties of sauces, many free of any animal byproducts.  

The restaurant has also replaced canola oil in its fryer with sunflower oil, which is now used to turn potatoes into fries.  

According to the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, the balance of fatty acids found in sunflower oil, including a decent amount of linoleic acid, an omega-6 fatty acid, aids in lowering cholesterol.   Sunflower oil also boosts heart health and energy while improving the immune system. 

“Eating out should be about options,” said Kamil Finan, co-owner of Burger Boss.  “And with five protein selections, three different buns including one that is gluten-free, several kinds of cheese, toppings, and sauces to select from, we’re reaching a larger and more diverse diner.” 

With its unique ordering process, Burger Boss puts the guest in charge by inviting them to “boss their burger” using an interactive, touch-screen kiosk where they visually build-their-burger on a flat screen monitor and place their order when finished. 

It’s a five-step process where guests select their:

Protein – grass-fed beef, cage-free chicken or turkey, or black bean patty.
Bun – white Kaiser, wheat grain or gluten-free cheese – from American and blue cheese crumble to sharp cheddar, gouda and more.
Sauce – from traditional 1000 Island and Heinz Ketchup to chipotle mayo, honey Dijon, Sriracha and more.
Toppings – turkey bacon, organic egg, grilled pineapple, avocado as well as more traditional offerings, such as tomatoes and grilled onions.

Open 10:30 a.m. to 9 p.m. Sunday to Thursday; 10:30 a.m. to 10 p.m. Friday and Saturday.
