So, 5 years ago you couldn't find an unfast food burger joint in the Burgh. Now, you can't swing a cat by the tail without hitting one.
Not that I don't mind a good burger joint, being a vegan, I find it to be like a treasure hunt. Please my taste buds without animal flesh and you'll have a customer for the life of your eatery.
BRGR's vegan offering is falafel-"esque"in taste and texture. Heavy on the belly after eating. This burger, with its Greek/Lebanese spice & herb influence went well with the Flower Power IPA. I paired this "burger" with a tasty slaw done without mayo, opting for a healthier vinegary dressing with apples and golden raisins. Excellent foil for the falafel burger. The slaw's sweetness paired well with the heavily spiced chick pea burger. I've had this offering at the original BRGR, and still the best IMO) I was hoping for something new for the meatless crowd.
I hope this sudden "need" for there to be a gourmet burger joint on every block of the city does come to an end soon. But at least it's not another Applebee's, Chilie's or TGIFriday.
