The Beyond Gourmet founder at the grill on the Woodlawn balcony

A legacy born on the balcony

It all started on a small balcony in Woodlawn, where the smell of BBQ filled the air every summer, a tradition passed down from my father. No backyard? No problem. We turned our balcony into a BBQ haven, smoking food with love, right where family gathered.

“Make it as quickly as we can, but as slow as we have to.”

Got more questions? Contact us

Is everything on the menu plant-based?

Yes, everything on the menu is plant-based. However, we offer dairy cheese and dairy butter toasted buns with our plant-based proteins.

Why does Beyond Gourmet use dairy cheese on burgers and sausages, and dairy butter to toast our buns?

Beyond Gourmet prioritizes taste, giving our customers foodgasms, and diet restrictions second.

If your diet is non-dairy, we will happily hold the cheese and wrap your burger, sausage or hot dog in a barbecue grilled romaine lettuce leaf.

How do I reheat my burger, sausage or hot dog to still taste fresh off the grill?

Simply remove the burger, sausage or hot dog from the bun or lettuce wrap and place in a skillet with a very small amount of water, place a lid on it and steam it for 2 minutes, let the excess water drip off and place it right back in the bun or lettuce wrap. This will keep it moist, juicy and tasting like it's fresh off the grill.

(WARNING: If placed in the microwave for too long, it may change the texture and ruin the taste.)

Are Beyond Gourmet buns gluten-free?

No. Beyond Gourmet buns are not gluten-free. If your diet is gluten-free we will happily wrap your burger, sausage or hot dog in a barbecue grilled romaine lettuce leaf.

Why does Beyond Gourmet only offer 48-hour pre-orders and not a real-time ordering option?

Beyond Gourmet is currently a catering business, and therefore not equipped, nor licensed to provide real-time fast casual restaurant service, YET. We have adopted the 48-hour pre-order, pick-up and curbside business model to give our customers access to individual orders of our one of a kind, delicious, slow-smoked plant-based barbecue menu, without having to order in bulk.

The 48-hour pre-order option empowers us to always provide you with the freshest ingredients, never yesterday's lettuce, buns, etc., and the most amazing made-to-order burger, hot dog and sausage you've ever had.

Can I customize my order?

Yes. We aim to provide you with the best experience possible. We will happily accommodate your needs and wants in any and every way that we can.
