Hopdoddy Burger Bar Launches The Impossible at All Texas Locations on June 22

Offered as a take on its "Classic Burger," the Impossible Burger at Hopdoddy will include the Impossible Foods patty, Tillamook cheddar, green leaf lettuce, white onion, tomatoes and its signature "Sassy Sauce" on a brioche bun for $14. The burger can also be customized with a whole wheat bun for an entirely plant-based option. In each location, Hopdoddy will partner with Saint Arnold Brewery to pair "The Impossible" with their 5 O'Clock Pils.

"We are proud to partner with a brand that aligns perfectly with the pillars that Hopdoddy was founded on: a unique and honest product made the right way, with the freshest and best available ingredients. These pillars allow us to serve the highest quality burger in terms of flavor, health and sustainability," said Jeff Chandler, CEO of Hopdoddy Burger Bar. "Impossible Burger exceeds our highest standards and makes a great addition to our menu and our brand -- and we're excited to share it with Texas' Hopdoddy fanatics."

Hopdoddy: Hops, cows...and The Impossible

Highly respected for its pioneering role in accelerating the "better burger" trend, Hopdoddy was named one of the "Best Burgers in America" by both Food & Wine and Rachael Ray Every Day. Hopdoddy was created to express the perfect union of burgers and beer: handcrafted beer (Hop) and (Doddy), the nickname given to native angus cow in Aberdeen, Scotland. 

Founded in 2010 by Guy Villavaso, Larry Foles, Chuck Smith and Larry Perdido, Hopdoddy stands out for its "from scratch" ethos and full bar. All burgers at Hopdoddy are made with antibiotic- and hormone-free beef. Every burger is ground in-house daily, and buns are baked on site. Hopdoddy uses Kennebec potatoes, hand-cut and blanched every morning, and sauces and dressings are made from scratch. Currently, Hopdoddy has 18 locations across Texas, Arizona, California and Colorado.

"We want to grow together with Hopdoddy," said Impossible Foods CEO and Founder Patrick O. Brown, M.D., Ph.D. "And it's fitting to start our relationship right here, in Texas, which has the most discerning burger experts on the planet. We encourage all of them to try The Impossible."

Big Taste, Small Footprint

The Impossible Burger is the world's only burger that looks, handles, smells, cooks and tastes like ground beef from cows -- but is made entirely from plants, with a much smaller environmental footprint than meat from animals.

Made entirely from plants, the Impossible Burger uses about 75% less water, generates about 87% fewer greenhouse gases and requires around 95% less land than conventional ground beef from cows. It's produced without hormones, antibiotics, cholesterol or artificial flavors.

In development since 2011, the Impossible Burger debuted in July 2016 in New York City at Chef David Chang's restaurant Momofuku Nishi. It's currently served in nearly two dozen additional restaurants in New York, California and Nevada. For more information about Impossible Foods, please visit www.impossiblefoods.com.
