Vegan milkshakes at famed burger joint come with steep price tag
Black Tap Craft Burgers & Beer's 'Black ‘n White Cake Shake' is completely dairy- and egg-free
The growing vegan food movement is gaining traction among American consumers, and restaurants -- aiming to capitalize on the culinary trend -- are taking notice.
IMPOSSIBLE FOODS TESTING PLANT-BASED BACON
Restaurant chain Black Tap Craft Burgers & Beer is one of those eateries, and it's created an egg- and dairy-free, vegan milkshake, topped with a slice of cake. The cost of The Vegan Black ‘n White Cake Shake: $18.
The price reportedly reflects the large serving size of the drink as well as the special effort put behind the creation of the treat. The milkshake, which was reportedly demanded consistently by consumers who wanted to be included in the Black Tap dining experience, took about two years to develop.
