Oscar Mayer is Launching a Plant-Based Hot Dog

The plant-based market in the United States is predicted to surge from $8.3 billion in 2023 to $19 billion by 2030. Despite this growth, plant-based hot dogs and sausages remain relatively untapped due to dissatisfaction with existing options’ taste and texture. In response, Kraft Heinz has launched new Oscar Mayer NotHotDogs and NotSausages, available in Bratwurst and Italian sausage flavors, to fill this gap in the market.

The introduction of Oscar Mayer NotHotDogs and NotSausages represents the Kraft Heinz’s dedication to swiftly bringing innovative plant-based products to market. This launch adds to their expanding plant-based portfolio, which includes Kraft NotMac&Cheese, Kraft NotCheese Slices, and NotMayo. Looking ahead, The Kraft Heinz Not Company plans to enter additional categories and expand internationally.

Chick-fil-A to Open First NYC Mobile Pickup Restaurant

Breaking ground with this innovative concept, Chick-fil-A aims to revolutionize the dining experience for busy urbanites, with plans to introduce a second pioneering drive-thru venture later in the year.

Dubbed Chick-fil-A 79th & 2nd, the new establishment caters exclusively to delivery and mobile app orders, promising New Yorkers a seamless and expedited pickup encounter. Operating without a traditional dining area, the focus will be on efficiency and convenience without compromising Chick-fil-A’s renowned hospitality.

Fans conveniently place their orders for delivery or carryout via the Chick-fil-A App or online platform. Utilizing geofencing technology, the restaurant is notified when customers are en route, ensuring orders are promptly prepared to synchronize with their arrival. Inside, real-time status boards update guests and delivery drivers on the readiness of their orders, facilitating a smooth and efficient process.

Mets Beat Nationals

They took care of business Wednesday at Nationals Park with a 9-1 win to complete a three-game series sweep. It was their fifth win in the seven games since they held a players-only meeting.

Luis Severino gave the Mets some much-needed length with eight innings of one-run baseball. A beleaguered bullpen didn’t have to worry about a save situation or any tense late-game pitching performances with the Mets beating up on left-hander Patrick Corbin and right-hander Jordan Weems, taking all nine runs off of the two Washington hurlers, including a six-run sixth inning that sunk the Nats (27-34).
