“Most veggie burgers are bad. Very bad.”
This was our top-rated choice among the meat-alternative variety. Senior Editor Anya Hoffman thought this patty looked the best of the bunch and Kat enjoyed its slightly spicy, not overpoweringly smoky flavor. I found the texture to be reminiscent of pre-cooked frozen sausage—which is not a bad thing if you're planning to pile it high with tomatoes, pickles, and ketchup on a burger bun.
We all liked this selection from Trader Joe's, but most of us said we would probably never eat it on a bun since the texture is a little too soft to provide much contrast. Also made from largely real-food–sounding ingredients, it had a bean patty–like interior, a crispy crust, and—as the name suggests—a Southwestern-inspired flavor.
BUY IT: Trader Joe’s Quinoa Cowboy Veggie Burgers With Black Beans and Roasted Corn, available at Trader Joe'sTruthfully, this burger was the most divisive of the bunch. A few of our editors rated it the most vile, while others rated it with the highest score possible. Some of that in-fighting may have been due to the way we prepared these burgers.
Regardless of preparation, I found the flavor very appealing—almost like aged meat—and could be fooled into thinking it was a beef burger if someone handed it to me fresh off the grill. Alternatively, Anya and Kat said it reminded them of cat food. It does have a distinctly tropical fruit scent when raw , so if you're feeding your cat Jackfruit-and-Pineapple Fancy Feast, maybe you'll feel the same way.
