MorningStar Farms Grillers Chik'n Veggie Patties meeting their demise?

I love these. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Boxed up vegan meat analogues. Whatever, they taste good in my salads. Nobody here is carrying them anymore and the last person I talked to said there was a "Get 'em while still available" sign on the freezer case.

If this is something you like, better stock up.

Of course, I wouldn't need to stock up if Leftymom would send me my seitan already, dammit. *went there*

Do the morningstar farm foods still have 50 ingredients in each product? Kinda creeps me out to look at the package.

The veggie dogs were great too and now the only way to get them is in their corn dogs (which are too damn sweet for me). Smart Dogs are okay, but they aren't as firm.

as final closeout at my local Kroger here in North Georgia. I think the price was $3 and change (normally $3.99). I didn't buy any because I really never cared for them anyway.

The sprog won't eat seitan (I KNOW!) and the only other meat analogue he likes is the Health is Wealth faux chicken, which is expensive.

We've found them at WinCo, do you have that there? I have a gigantic pile in the freezer, because I only go to that store once a month or so, since it's on the other end of town.

I'd be so set. I mean if they can find that shithead and ice his ass, then surely they could find me much Grillers.

Why does the Lotto elude me so?

I have to go to the store in question in a few days anyhow, if the stuff's getting discontinued I'll clear them out.

Well, wait. I don't need Grillers if I'm getting a drop shipment of LeftyMom seitan. LMs is scrumtrillescent beyond Griller levels.

Thanks for taking the time to email us regarding your difficulty in finding Morningstar Farms® Grillers® Chik'n Veggie Patties. We want you to keep enjoying this product so I'm glad you contacted us for help.

Certainly, we want every store to carry all of our products but stores have to pick and choose the products they think their customers will enjoy the most. I've confirmed that this product is not discontinued and is available for stores to order throughout the country.

Although we don't have access to shipping records, I searched the information we do have available. I found store information in your area where this product has been sold in the past several weeks:

Walmart Supercenter
3355 S 27th St
Milwaukee, WI 53215-4303
414 383 1113

Pick N Save Store
1735 W Silver Spring Dr
Milwaukee, WI 53209-4400
(414) 3510271

I suggest calling the store to confirm their current sto ck of this product. Even though we do not have a direct-to-home sales program, several on-line retailers such as Netgrocer.com and Amazon.com offer many of our products for purchase and delivery. These retailers are not affiliated directly with Kellogg Company and set their own prices and policies.

Thank you for enjoying our products. We'll see you next time in the frozen aisle!


Best of health,

I realize these stores do you no good, but the product is apparently still being made.

I guess I'll have to make the same inquiry (rather than trekking to every grocery in the city).
