Today I had my first Beyond burger, which like the Impossible burger (which I haven't tried yet) is a plant based patty designed to look, feel, and taste like a real beef patty. Did the beyond burger succeed? Here's my take on it. My burger came with red onion slices, lettuce, tomato slice, pickle slices, and thousand island dressing on a decent burger bun. The burger “meat” is indistinguishable from real beef in taste, and it's incredibly close in texture. There's a slight meatless meat smell to it, but it's hardly noticeable. The bottom line is that had I not known, I wouldn't have suspected that my burger wasn't real meat. The Beyond burger has no genetically modified ingredients in it, and the high protein content comes from a mixture of rice and bean products. I had my burger with a side of potato salad, and it was a good burger lunch.
