I'm copying this so I'll have it as reference:
We meet Collin (Daveed Diggs) and Miles (Rafael Casal), the best friend duo at the heart of Blindspotting, in the parking lot of an Oakland, California burger joint called Kwik Way. It’s the grand reopening of the beloved city chain, which, under new owners, has overhauled its fast food menu with health trend bait like whole wheat buns and wedged potato french fries. The lifelong friends and Oakland natives aren’t too happy with the result. “Why should I have to specify that I want meat on my burger,” Miles fumes when he discovers that he was served a veggie patty by default.

In the film, Miles is vocal about his discontent with the changes around The Town. He has to eat a vegan burger at the newly reopened Kwik Way.

He’s furious that the local fast-food joint has ceded its menu to the invading health-conscious hordes. The default burger is now vegan; the fries are now potato wedges.

That the corner store still sells “loosies”—single cigarettes—for a buck? That’s a good thing. That the local burger joint has now gone vegan? That, perhaps, is not.
