## Story

Just five months after product testing began at 140 locations in New York, Chicago and New Jersey, White Castle announced it is introducing the plant-based Impossible Slider at all 377 of its licensed locations nationwide for just $1.99.

The burger was developed by Impossible Foods to imitate a traditional hamburger’s taste and consistency. While Restaurant Business Online noted the burger first began appearing in high-end New York City restaurants, White Castle’s advancement of the Impossible Foods product marks the first widely-distributed processed vegan food option available to consumers at an accessible price point. Impossible Slider sales “easily exceeded” White Castle’s expectations, CEO Lisa Ingram said in a statement, also citing the plant-based burger’s popularity among new and existing customers alike.

A TechCrunch article about the nationwide rollout cited a statement from Impossible Foods founder and CEO Dr. Patrick O. Brown that read, “White Castle is teaching us how to popularize plant-based meat and become a mainstream, mass market menu item and cultural icon.”
