Dubai, United Arab Emirates – (BUSINESS WIRE) – California-based Impossible Foods has arrived in the United Arab Emirates, the company’s premier store in the Middle East. Its flagship product, Impossible â„¢ Burger, is certified kosher, halal and gluten-free and is now available exclusively on the menus of select restaurants across Dubai, United Arab Emirates, including Pickl, Sticky Rice, Akira Back and The MAINE Oyster Bar & Grill.
Starting Friday October 1st, Impossible Burger will be featured on selected menus in the US Pavilion at World Expo 2020. The event is expected to attract more than 25 million visitors from nearly 200 countries around the world by March 31, 2022.
The diverse food culture of the United Arab Emirates, with its unique geographic location and international population, offers a perfect platform to showcase the versatility of Impossible Burger. As a result, Dubai’s top chefs have created some of the world’s most innovative plant-based dishes to date: Impossible â„¢ Chorizo ​​Gyoza by Chef Akira Back; Impossible â„¢ Pad Krapow from Sticky Rice; and Impossible â„¢ Spiral South African Boerewors at Sausage Fabrique, to name a few.
“Impossible â„¢ products are made for every cuisine and culture, and we’re excited to be launching our first Middle East store,” said Dennis Woodside, President of Impossible Foods. “The UAE’s status as a global travel and culinary hub will enable a whole new region of consumers to experience Impossible Burger for the first time.”
As a longtime Impossible Foods fan, Pickl CEO and founder Stephen Flawith has created three original Impossible burger menu items especially for the local burger chain: Impossible â„¢ Cheeseburger, Impossible â„¢ Double Cheeseburger and Impossible â„¢ Fries.
“Today people want to reduce their meat consumption for many reasons, be it environmental, health or ethical reasons,” said CEO and founder Stephen Flawith. “We are thrilled to round off our Pickl Plant Based Menu with the introduction of Impossible Burger. This product alongside Pickl’s homemade sauces and pickles is something everyone must experience. It really is a game changer. ”
