Veggie burgers
If the image of a belching cow gives you a shudder, you have a sensitive stomach or you simply enjoy new culinary avenues, it’s probably time to dig into a veggie burger.
You don’t have to be a vegetarian to eat one. Restaurants all over town are warming up to the idea of meatless patties, experimenting with textures and creating completely new and intriguing tastes.
