She is now a Disney brand who prints money. I’m sure that’s a dream come true for her.

I couldn't eat a whole Five Guys meal though (and I imagine most people couldn't either) - usually I split fries with at least one other person. That makes it more manageable (still overpriced). I doubt the portions here will be as generous. I do take what you're saying though. I still think they'll be better serving the burgers with a side since that's the model they follow in every other theme park quick service. (I will add, I don't think the rest of their QS is actually that overpriced compared to what I'm paying for McDonalds etc, especially for the quality; charging $13 for a single QS burger is a model which I can't support).

And prices are going to continue to go up with the impending food shortages headed our way (due to the Russia/Ukraine conflict).

I was alluding to this above. I'll believe these are something more than a frozen Sysco burger when I see it.

Given recent precedent (Regal Eagle), expect this thing to open with next to no notice. Best shot at getting a formal opening date announcement might be if the date is given in conjunction with Guardians. Not sure if cast have made their way to onsite training yet, but the goal recently seemed to be "before Spring break/Easter week." Most recent "at worst" date I was given was end of month.

This is a safe space for carnivores to connect with other carnivores. Herbivores should graze elsewhere. There’s some nice grass over by The Land that 4 out of 5 ducks give 2 webbed feet up!It’s interesting seeing a menu open with that many burgers and not a single veggie burger. With how they use impossible/beyond burgers around the parks, all of their burger options should be able to come as either beef or veggie

Agreed. Seems like they would offer all the burgers as either beef or veggie.It’s interesting seeing a menu open with that many burgers and not a single veggie burger.

If I read the financial tea leaves correctly, the market for hyper-processed-vegetables-into-faux-meat-products is shrinking. Could be related, could be a non-factor. Could also be that those things just don’t sell well and they’d rather focus on other vegetarian offerings that do.

Just my speculation but that could very well be the case, all burger's available in either beef or veggie option. Seems like a fairly simple and easy swap out in the kicthen
You need to separate the veggie option from the same cooking apparatus (pan, skillet, flame broiled conveyer, etc..). People who don't want the meat option don't want any cross-contamination not just for health reasons but, for some, ethical and/or religious reasons. So... simple if you have an exclusive extra fryer.

Not to mention that it still wouldn't make any of the traditional burgers fully plant-based/vegan. The French bistro burger has bacon and brie, the American classic burger has cheddar, the southwestern burger has Oaxaca cheese crema, and the Mediterranean burger has feta relish.
Meanwhile in the Connections Eatery Basement.

#1 reason we haven't eaten at Garden Grill. I don't care how much I like chipmunks.

As one who doesn't eat red meat I still plan to eat here, but boy were my burger guys happy!
