I had not brown bagged that day and it so happened that I was extremely late for lunch. So around 3pm I venture out and within a short walking distance from my office I see this plant based takeout place in The Path.
I see the picture of the Shitake Burger and my stomach growled. For about $11 including taxes I get a brown bag and rush back to the office.
First impressions - did not look anywhere close to the picture in the store which luckily I had clicked. Aside from not looking as advertised I began to chow down. As you might relate to this - when you are starving anything you eat seems delicious; however it this case it was the opposite the burger missed the mark. My assumption was that there were pieces of fresh mushrooms, this tasted as soy mushroom processed pieces that I have tasted at Asian restaurants. This seemed run of the mill rather than the uniqueness I was hoping for.
The toppings bothered me as well as it was too unflavoured. The over done bread/bun that didn't look like the picture wasn't helpful either.
