Food: Veggie Burger

Burger King sells Gardenburgers, as does Red Robbin. The Burger King one isn’t all that great while the one from Red Robbin is okay. I prefer to make my own though because I think my burgers are better! My favorite patty is the original grillers from MorningStar Farms. It’s not vegan, but there are other patties that are. I throw it in a small oven at 450 degrees F for 15 minutes.


Tomato, pickles, romaine lettuce (I prefer iceberg for burgers but I had leftover romaine from another meal), mustard, ketchup, Smart Beat mayonaise (only 10 cal per tbs. Nayonaise is a vegan alternative but I think it tastes too sour), in a toasted wheat bun with potato rounds on the side.

Here’s a Gardenburger meal I got at BK last year or something. Wimpy, wimpy, wimpy! I admit BK makes the best tasting fries though.

    I think they fry their french fries on the same oil that chicken nuggets and chicken fries go to. Does that bother you? Does that go against lacto-vegetarianism? Seems like it does.

      I’ve read an article some years ago on PETA about how veg(anism) should be about reducing animal suffering, not a purification process but that’s what PETA says; it’s ultimately on the individual. It would be utterly impossible for one to avoid cross contamination unless they cook everything from scratch, use processed food only from vegan or vegetarian companies, and or eat in vegetarian only restaurants. Some are anal about cross contamination, some aren’t. If I was anal about that stuff I should of at least become a vegan by now. That’s like asking a Christian if they believe in homosexuality. Some are for it, some aren’t. There’s no clear cut guideline that applies to everyone. I’m sure that patty was grilled on the same grill as their other crap too though I totally forgot that burger joints carry that fried chicken stuff but MY philosophy is “do whatever you can, better than nothing”.
