James McInnes founded Odd Burger in 2014 as a grassroots vegan organization that brought organic fruit and vegetables from local farmers to customers' doorsteps. Partnered with Vasiliki in 2015, the couple developed vegan meal kits, through which they learned that people loved their vegan fast food recipes. In 2016, Odd Burger brought what is now known as the Famous Burger to the London, Ontario Ribfest where it sold out due to overwhelming demand. The popularity of this vegan option made waves and the disruption garnered great media attention throughout North America. The food truck was launched soon thereafter which brought vegan fast food to communities across Ontario and where customers came out in droves. In 2017, the company launched Canada's first vegan fast-food restaurant. Six months later, they opened the world's first 24-hour vegan drive thru. Odd Burger opened its own manufacturing centre in 2018, where food is produced, and research and development take place.
