Burger, today, has gone through serious evolution. From ones loaded with heavy meat and sweet mayo to aloo tiki burger, there has indeed been a revolutionary change!
Rajeev Verman, CEO of Burger King India has gone on record to state that being vegetarian became very important for all burger brands. He disclosed that Burger King, which had been serving primarily beef all across the world, when they came to India, made efforts to position itself as a snack outlet having a predominantly vegetarian menu.
