ARLINGTON, Va., June 24, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- As consumers
are increasingly changing their diets to plant-based foods,
Interstate Hotels & Resorts – a global leader in third-party
hotel and resort management – is going beyond traditional menus at
the company's hotels and restaurants this summer through a
partnership with Beyond Meat® (NASDAQ: BYND) and their
famous Beyond BurgerTM.
From July 15 – October 31, 2019, Interstate's restaurant and
banquet menus will feature recipes using the Beyond Burger, a
plant-based take on the perfect summer meal. With a mission to
create the Future of Protein®, Beyond has designed a
revolutionary plant-based burger to have the meaty taste, texture
and versatility consumers love about ground beef, but with the
added health and sustainability benefits of plant-based meat.
With 7.3 million people in the U.S. alone following a
vegetarian-based diet, of which 1 million are vegan, Interstate
wanted to reach all guests with menu options that appeal to
vegetarians and vegans, as well as meat-eaters by offering more
impressive plant-forward entrees that still deliver all the flavor,
aroma and beefiness of traditional burgers.
"With the growing popularity of plant-based diets, we set out to
find a plant-based burger that didn't eat like a veggie or vegan
burger, but more like a burger that people who enjoy meat would
love," said Interstate Hotels & Resorts' SVP of Food and
Beverage, Fernando Salazar. "We
found that the Beyond Burger is just that – a product that lets our
guests substitute ground beef burgers for plant-based Beyond
Burgers, without sacrificing flavor or taste."
Interstate's hotels and resorts in the U.S. will carry the 100%
plant-based Beyond Burger which contains no GMOs, soy or gluten
across lunch, dinner and catering menus, with their own take on
recipes using the plant-based meat. Just as no two restaurant menus
are alike, no two Beyond menu items will be alike across the
high-end portfolio. From enchiladas to meatballs and truffle mac
and cheese burgers, there are no boundaries when it comes to this
plant-based addition.
A global leader in third-party hotel management, Interstate
Hotels & Resorts' depth of experience across all lodging
segments and asset classes drives results in each of its managed
