Their meatless Whopper. Well I saw a commercial and was intrigued. So I decided to give this sandwich a try. In the commercial the people are like “it tastes just like a Whopper!” This is false.

But it didn’t taste bad. It clearly wasn’t beef but it was above average for a veggie burger. I was satisfied after eating it.

A few hours later though - hoo boy. My insides started sloshing around like a washing machine on the “heavy soil” cycle. I mean roiling and boiling and gurgling fit to beat the band. Luckily I was not in public or I may have had a 12Pack incident when the dam finally burst.

You're not having much luck with burgers this week. I suggest switching to the fish sandwiches.
 
I haven't tried that one, because it would require going to BK, but the veg burgers I have tried fit that description - not bad, even good, but not like real burger.

There is a veggie burger place in San Marcos called Earth Burger that is supposed to be really good. I'll try it one of these days.

This feels like Deja Vu smurfco. Time for another long take about a great night and a delicious meal for me. I went to The Canyon Club last year and got prime rib. They only serve it when they sell the place out. Sell the place out they did. STEVE MORSE AND THE DIXIE DREGGS!!! They put on the most excellent display of fine musicianship that I have ever heard. And I have seen Ingvie, Uli Roth, Shenker, Dream theater, Frank Marino, and more. They were unbelievable. So was my jumbo cut of rare cooked prime rib with straight horseradish. Back to you. I had no sloshing around in my stomach after that. Just say no to fast food.

If I'm going to a fast food burger joint, I'm certainly not getting a veggie burger. Chicken sandwich maybe, but thanks for letting us know that it's something to avoid. :thu:
 
I’ve had the impossible burger at a local burger joint. It’s fine, but it doesn’t taste like beef and it doesn’t taste as good as a good veggie burger that says “fuck it...this thing is made of kale/beets/whatever...and we’re just gonna make that awesome.”

Yeah, something pretending to be something it's not usually doesn't work too well. There are plenty of damn fine veggie burgers out there. Just lean into it if that's what you want.
 
I tried the Beyond Burgers at Target. They’re close to beef and even taste a little bland just like buying premade beef patties as opposed to making my own patties and adding salt and spices.

Are they still open?

I remember going to Pollo Loco in Las Vegas a few times, when I was there on TDY in the Air Force. The parking lot was always empty when we'd drive by it.

Our Pollo Loco is always crowd free too. I dont go often. It costs the same as a true Mexican grill.

That might say more about your diet than it does about the impossible burger :wink:
