Plant Futures Harvard recently hosted an unforgettable Student Night with Veggie Grill. This event was a delightful convergence of passionate students, delicious plant-based cuisine, and inspiring stories of innovation in the plant-based food industry.

Plant-Based Excellence with Veggie Grill

Veggie Grill, known for its delicious and innovative plant-based menu, provided an excellent venue for the event. Attendees enjoyed the restaurant's famed Classic Burgers, a perfect example of how plant-based eating can be both satisfying and sustainable. The event was not just about enjoying good food; it was about celebrating a movement towards healthier and more eco-friendly eating habits.

One attendee shared, "Loved this event! Thank you Veggie Grill 🙌." Another expressed enthusiasm for future collaborations, tweeting, " looking forward to doing it again!" The event was a resounding success, leaving everyone eager for more such gatherings.

The Inspiring Story Behind Veggie Grill and Next Level Burger

To truly appreciate the significance of this event, it’s essential to understand the inspiring journey of Next Level founders Matt and Cierra de Gruyter. Their story is a testament to the power of vision and determination in driving positive change.

Determined to make a difference, Matt and Cierra left their comfortable lives behind to create something extraordinary: a plant-based burger chain dedicated to quality and sustainability. This vision led to the birth of Next Level Burger, America's first 100% plant-based burger joint chain. Their commitment to providing wholesome, responsibly sourced ingredients and all-organic veggies has set a new standard in the food industry.

In 2024, this pioneering spirit led to Next Level Burger acquiring Veggie Grill, which was founded in 2006 and had already earned a reputation for its delectable plant-based offerings. Together, they now form the largest wholly-owned plant-based restaurant company in North America, boasting 27 locations and counting. This merger symbolizes a powerful alliance aimed at furthering the mission of promoting a healthier, more sustainable way of eating.

A Future of Sustainable Dining

Their dedication to fighting climate change through an animal-free supply chain and serving up food that’s good for people, animals, and the planet is truly commendable.

The Plant Futures Harvard x Veggie Grill Student Night was more than just an evening of great food and company; it was a celebration of a shared vision for a sustainable future. It highlighted the importance of making conscious food choices and supporting businesses that are committed to positive change.

Thank you for hosting such a wonderful event. We look forward to many more nights of fantastic food and inspiring conversations! 🍔🌱
