LOOKING for: Your favorite veggie burger

| My husband wants to start eating vegetarian. The only meat meal he claims he will miss is grilled hamburgers. I would like to find a really delicious veggie burger---either store bought or your own recipe. We just tried Amy's organic vegetable "Chicago" burgers, but found them to be disappointing---too much of a "cardboard"-like taste. What is your favorite? |

| I like the MorningStar farms regular veggie burger and especially their spicy black bean burgers. But neither tastes like a regular, non-veg burger. Try the Boca burgers. If I remember right, they are closer to the taste and texture of a hamburger. If those aren't available, look for a brand with more soy content instead of veggies. Good luck! |

| Grill him a portobello mushroom! They have the consistancy of meat and taste great basted with olive oil and salt and peppered.....and they fit on the bun!!! Provide the 'usual' trimmings. |

| IMHO, Yves makes the BEST veggie burgers. Even meat-eaters I know have claimed that they're so close in texture and flavor that they have a difficult time telling them apart. Not sure if you can find them in 'any' store, but here is a link to their website: http://www.veggiedog.com/usa/products/index.html |

| I like the Gardenburger Original burgers, you can find them in the frozen food section. I even slipped one in on my husband a year ago and he loved it :) |

| I just came from another board where this came up. Bocca was the favorite of those who wanted a meaty texture. Even as a meat eater I like veggie burgers. I do not want mine to be meat like however. I love the Amy organic california burgers, and the garder burger mushroom. |

Gardenburger is my favorite brand,
But I agree with the poster who said to give him a grilled portobella mushroom. They're vegetarian steaks. I marinate mine in a raspberry chipotle sauce and they're really tasty! |

| I am not a vegetarian but my daughter is, and she likes the garden burgers BECAUSE she does not like the taste and texture of meat. I have tried them all, and would say that portobello mushrooms are phenomenal. you could swear you are eating steak. For the frozen ones, I really like Boca burgers- they taste most beef like to me, and the morning star are pretty good as well. |

| I second the original Gardenburgers, as far as store brands go. But for those of you who live in the South, you simply cannot beat a Houston's veggie Burger. Unbelievable. |
