Nathan Runkle September 3, 2009

Chicago’s Wrigley Field, home of the Cubs, is famous for its ballpark franks. But this past Sunday all the buzz from the hungry fans centered around MFA’s free vegan burger give-away. Over 600 lucky Cubs fans enjoyed a mouthwatering veggie burger and samples of other delicious vegan meat alternatives, including hot dogs and cheeseburgers. The always-vegan-haven restaurant, Veggie Bite, generously donated the delicious fare.

Not only did ball game fans and passersby have the opportunity to try out compassionate versions of their favorite food classics, but they also learned more about vegetarian options within Wrigley Field.

Vegan feed-ins are positive and fun outreach events that showcase how easy and delicious a plant-based diet can be.
