    If there’s one dish where I feel it’s a waste to eat animal meat, it’s hamburgers. Vegetarian alternatives have come a long way and in a burger they’re often the superior option.

    There’s a small difference for sure, but the BM patties are far from inferior. And much of the difference is masked by condiments anyway.

      Nothing pisses me off more than seeing “wagyu beef burger” on a menu. What’s the fucking point if you’re gonna grind it up and shape it into a patty

        They still use the burger parts for burger. They’re not taking a ribeye and grinding it up and selling it at a loss.

        Is it a dumb thing for dumb people? Maybe. You would think the extra fat would just cook off and it wouldn’t go very far vs uncooked weight.

        I wouldn’t buy one but I wouldn’t want that meat to go to waste either.

      I personally think like the complete opposite - if there’s anything that’s a waste, it’s a beyond meat burger, because veggie burgers are like, really fucking good. Why on earth would you settle for an inferior pretend product when you can instead have a really good thing that’s not pretending to be something else?

      Miss me with that fake meat stuff and bring back actual veggie burgers! I got a real nice sweet potato and refried black bean one I’ve been working on for a while now

        Why not both? :D Cause sometimes I feel like eating this and sometimes I feel like eating that
