History

World Plant-Based Burger Day began in 2020. VeganBurg, a plant-based burger chain from Singapore, created it to mark their 10th year.

They saw it as a chance to share their passion for meat-free burgers with the world.

The goal was simple: help people discover that plant-based food can taste great and do good. Instead of just offering salads, they wanted to prove that comfort food could also be sustainable.

The idea quickly caught on. More restaurants and home cooks started joining the celebration. Each year, new burger recipes, events, and food specials pop up in cities around the globe.

The day now draws attention to the growing plant-based movement. It encourages people to make food choices that are better for the planet, animals, and health.

VeganBurg believed in change through flavor, not force. They hoped a delicious burger could start a bigger conversation.

That’s why the day feels more like a global picnic than a protest. It’s about trying something new, enjoying every bite, and thinking about where food comes from.

Over time, this celebration has helped push meat-free meals into the spotlight. With each burger flipped, it brings people closer to a more thoughtful way of eating.
