Here’s the deal “Steve”, if that’s your real name. I know a lot of Steves. That “Steve” looks much like Steve from Portland, Oregon that works at Stumptown Coffee so I’m not sure you should be using that name.

It comes down to being TOLD it was vegan then being served something NOT vegan. Simple as that. If we were told it was not vegan then it would not be an issue. We would go along our way. Simple. So before you come in here “Steve” get your ducks in a row.

I asked as well as did many others and we were told that the Marathon Burger was, in fact, vegan. It goes no further than that. It sounds no more than you being a plant for the restaurant. You sound petty. I’m sure this matters little to other customers of Burger Up. Either they will revise or they won’t. If they don’t, the vegans who once ate the burger will no longer. If they do then vegans will once again visit and dine. Either way, Burger Up will continue to thrive, so do not worry “Steve”.

“Extortive demands” Where did I make any type of demand? Extoritve? Reading comprehension, “Steve”.
Also, that picture is the burger from Burger UP as they were prepping to open on 12 South. I did a review for it which you would know if you bothered to follow links and read, which you didn’t but hey, what am I supposed to expect from someone who fakes a name, right?

In the end, before you decide to come here and “rake me over the coals” for what appears to be something you know little about get some facts regarding vegans, what they eat and more than passive hearsay.

Oh, and “Steve”: Thank you so much for the visit and reply. Have a fantastic day!

And while we’re at it… Why is it that the entire world must bend to your wants and wishes? When I walk into the Wild Cow, I don’t ask them to supply me with meat options. Why then would you expect a burger restaurant to cater to your very narrow dietary desires?

I respect your right to exclude whatever proteins you choose for your diet. Key word being choose. Burger Up has responded, graciously I would say and unnecessarily, to your extortive demands.

In the end we’re talking about about a tablespoon of Worcestershire sauce, which contains a minuscule amount of anchovy, in a catsup recipe that in turn makes up a minuscule part of a larger burger recipe. We’re talking microscopic amounts of fish juice. That does not, in any way, render the Marathon Burger identical to, “…animal meat sandwiches.”

That kind of “reduce it to the absurd” argument significantly lessens your credibility.

BurgerUP:
Thank you. We are on it! Never claimed vegan. Veg, yes.

So not true, every time I’ve eaten there I’ve asked if the Marathon was vegan and they’ve said YES! Ugh. No wonder it always made me feel sick.
