Nathan’s Famous Has Introduced Vegan And Vegetarian Hot Dogs

Nathan’s Famous is getting on the vegan, plant-based train by introducing a vegan and vegetarian version of its popular hotdogs.

Nathan’s is well-known for its iconic Coney Island Hot Dog Eating Contest, and now it’s making another move for its brand by signing on to the plant-based game. The restaurant will be partnering with Meatless Farms for vegan and veggie-friendly menu items.

The dogs won’t lose any of their zest and spice, and the company says the new change isn’t only for “flexitarian, vegetarian and vegan customers but all who enjoy a healthier diet,” PEOPLE reports.

“We’ve spent a great deal of time perfecting this hot dog and making sure that those who know and love Nathan’s one-of-a-kind flavor, as well as those that might not have tried a Nathan’s hot dog due to diet, can now enjoy an option that fits their lifestyle,” said James Walker, president of Nathan’s Famous restaurants.

The vegan and veggie deliciousness will be available for in-store purchases on Monday at 13 Nathan’s locations in New York City, and meatless dogs are also available online in a kit of six hotdogs along with buns and mustard.
