(NASDAQ: BYND), a leader in plant-based meat, today announced the launch of its latest Beyond Burger (Beyond IV) at all Hard Rock Cafe North America company locations. The Beyond Burger will be offered as a swap for any beef burger on Hard Rock Cafe’s core and kids’ menus, enabling guests to enjoy their go-to burger option with the added benefits of plant-based protein.

“At Hard Rock Cafe, we take pride in our made-from-scratch recipes that music fans around the world have been loving for nearly 55 years, including our fan-favorite burgers,” said Eric Martino, President of Hard Rock Cafes & Retail at Hard Rock International. “We’re happy to make our menu even more versatile for plant-based and health-conscious consumers by giving them the choice to swap any of our patties with the delicious, protein-packed Beyond Burger.”

“We’re proud to partner with a globally recognized brand like Hard Rock Cafe to bring the latest Beyond Burger to a broader audience,” said Drew Lufkin, Senior Vice President of Sales at Beyond Meat. “This collaboration brings together Hard Rock’s beloved cuisine and legendary atmosphere with the delicious, plant-based goodness of Beyond. We’re excited for Hard Rock Cafe guests nationwide to experience the meaty taste and better-for-you ingredients that have made the Beyond Burger a standout in the plant protein category.”¹

With a beefy flavor and high smoke point due to avocado oil, the latest Beyond Burger caramelizes and sizzles to perfection. Made from clean, simple plant-based ingredients including protein from peas, brown rice, red lentils and faba beans, the 4oz Beyond Burger is an excellent source of protein – 20g per serving – with just 2g of saturated fat, and no cholesterol, GMOs, or added antibiotics or hormones.
