I thought I didn’t like veggie burgers because, well, I like real ones, but Stand has me talking, once again. My dinner companion suggested we do a little trade off. I was not excited to sacrifice half of my classic burger for a veggie one, but I gave in and was pleasantly surprised. Their veggie patty is made of quinoa, mushroom, and zucchini and you can opt for white cheddar if you’d like. Every ingredient in this flavorful patty is identifiable, unlike those in some veggie burgers that seem to remind me of cat food. The one downfall was that it was quite crumbly. I ended up having to ditch the great bun and just scrape the remainder up before it really fell apart. My companion was able to eat his half before it turned to crumbs. I would like to have eaten mine as a sandwich, too, but the patty had me so impressed that I wasn’t bothered.
