Had my first impossible burger (a slider) the other day. First time I legitimately could not tell the difference. DCR didn't either (until after I told him what it was).

They’re so good!

Where’d you get them?

We're in Denver; place called Bad Daddy's Burger Bar.

Edit: I take that back. Got it at The Dog Haus.

I heard that’s a cool place. Gonna have to check it out.

They have impossible burgers and Beyond sausages, as well as regular meat (for the rest of you).

I have been keeping up with this thread and it just seems like there is no meat to it.

Does he realize what is at steak? We will have to keep on ribbing him. Hopefully he is not so upset that he loses focus while driving and T-bones someone.

If he gets in a wreck he'll roast in the sun. Maybe he can out flank the other drivers.

I see you all hamming it up but I'm just saying that it seem fishy to me.

Had the avocado Beyond tacos at Del Taco. Highly recommended!

So, yesterday I finally tried the Beyond Burger at Carl's Jr. I must confess that I'm not a big fan of Carl's and consider it pretty much the bottom of the barrel of fast food IMHO, but I really wanted to try the Beyond. I have to say they did a great job making it so similar to a beef patty, because that sandwich was just as sh*tty as all their regular meat burgers.

However I do like Del Taco, so I'm looking forward to giving their Beyond Tacos a whirl.

My wife is anxiously awaits your review. She wants to try meatless and has decided that Del Taco is as safe a place as any for a first try.

Really? I rank them #2 in my personal fast food burger chain rankings. Wataburger holds down the number 1 spot yet again

Sausage?

I can only assume you have never eaten bacon with a remark like that! [emoji23]

Not a question. I do eat a lot of meatless meals. I have not tried beyond meat yet. I go to the store and there’s theses tiny patties in a package for the same price as I can buy twice the amount of meat! With two sons who eat a lot, I just can’t make the justification to blow my budget up on beyond meat products! So unless I hit the lottery, I just can’t get passed the price difference.

Knowing that your wifey was anxiously awaiting my review, I ventured to try the Del Taco Beyond Tacos today, and you can tell MrsYeahBut that they are pretty damn good. A nice hardy taco with good flavor. When you eat just the "meat" you can tell it's not beef, but in a bite with a nice mixture of "meat", cheese, shell, lettuce and tomatoes (with medium hot sauce in my case) you'd never know it's a plant source.

Do you always wear your sunglasses on your head like that?

Fair point. They're trying to get the price points to match, but they'll need to scale up first.
