Lord of the Fries
Vegan fast food chain
Lord of the Fries is an Australian casual dining fast food chain. It was originally based in Melbourne, before expanding into other regions. It serves only vegan dishes including loaded fries, veggie burgers, hot dogs and a number of various sides and breakfast items. Due to the menu consisting entirely of plant-based products, all meals from the chain are Kosher and Halal. The restaurants became 100% vegan in 2018. The founders are vegan as are most of the franchisees.
History
Lord of the Fries first started as a vegetarian "mobile chip van" in August 2004 which was driven across the country until late 2005 when the first store location was opened in Melbourne's city centre.
After opening the first permanent store in Melbourne, founders Mark Koronczyk and Amanda Leigh Walker with Mark's brother Sam have expanded the chain across Australia, with a restaurant in almost every state; one in Western Australia two in Queensland and South Australia, and ten in Victoria. The company also planned to further open seven new stores a year over a six-year period.
Lord of the Fries opened their first international store in Auckland, New Zealand, in 2016.

Why this record matters
A short description can identify a subject without explaining its stakes. For “Lord of the Fries”, the useful work is to connect “vegan fast food chain” to the records capable of establishing context and consequence.
Named sources, stable identifiers and responsible institutions provide the strongest route from overview to verifiable evidence. The source revision retrieved here is dated Jun 16, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q104088629. None of the 2 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 2018, 2004, 2005 and 2016.
A concise general-reference account can conceal disagreements about scope, terminology or the weight assigned to individual sources. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
