A guide to Gardenburgers

A few weeks ago, we heard that the Vegetarian Times reviewed some veggie burgers and picked a chicken-style burger as their favorite, despite the fact that most people wanting a burger don't think of chicken as the standard to meat. When it comes to standards, Gardenburgers are it for veggie burgers because they were the first well known brand of non-meat burger. Recently, the company has been in some financial trouble, but they are making a comeback and trying to promote their line, which has been revamped and is, hopefully, better than before.

Hungry Girl did a great job reviewing their patties, tasting and evaluating every one they offer, with the exception of "The Classic." Her top pick was the Black Bean Chipotle Burger, which sounds delicious based on the name alone, followed by The Original and the Garden Vegan Burgers. The unfortunately crumbly Flame Grilled Burger got the lowest marks, so it sounds like you'll want to avoid them. Check out the whole guide if you're looking for a good Gardenburger.

They're obviously not the same as a good old Quarter Pounder, but are an acceptable substitute if you are trying to avoid meat.

than Bocca Burgers. My favorite is the Sun Dried
Tomato Basil. A little lettuce,tomato and cheese and
its as good as the real thing to me!

And that is fine. Faux meat generally tastes faux to me and thus is icky.

I cannot stand Boca for that reason, because they try to hard to taste like meat.
