A vegetarian diet was typically adopted by people following a hippie culture. Gregory Sams and his brother Craig were introduced to vegetarianism when their father began eschewing meat as a New Year’s Resolution. Gregory stated in an interview that he became vegetarian at the age of 10 and never went back. He first began introducing meatless patties at his restaurant in Paddington, London, which he’d opened when he was 19 years old. Later, both Sams brothers joined forces to open a new food venture but ran into financial troubles. They came up with a plan to introduce a new kind of burger into the commercial market — a completely vegetarian burger! When the ‘VegeBurger’ was first introduced, the word ‘vege’ (what we now know as ‘veggie’) itself was a relatively new term. Although there were plenty of vegetable burgers around before then, this was the first entirely vegetarian burger to hit the market. The prelaunch of this burger was a huge success, and it soon made its way to grocery chains like Sainsbury and Safeway. In addition to veggie burgers, the meat-imitation field has exploded, too, which now includes options like Impossible Burgers and Beyond Meat’s Beyond Burger Patty. Amy’s Kitchen, a vegetarian food company, founded National Veggie Burger Day to encourage more people to try the veggie burger and celebrate its positive impact on the planet.
