I’m at the Cascadia Grill in downtown Olympia and while glancing around I noticed that they serve the famous impossible burger. I’ve been wanting to try it ever since I heard about it.
It’s an all plant burger patty that tastes like meat because it’s infused with heme, a chemical that is responsible for meatiness that we enjoy in our meat products. I enjoyed the food engineering marvel with a side of Mexican soup. It was a really decent cheeseburger, definitely not the best burger ever but solidly decent. If you were to have it next to a vegetarian burger and a regular burger I think it will still be mistaken for a real burger. As much as I’d like it to be the best burger ever, it just simply isn’t as good as a greasy, cheesy, bacony 5 guys dipped in gillum sauce.
In my opinion, I love that this kind of food exists. We need to eat less beef, it’s bad for our suffocating Earth. Plus it’s far healthier than a big blob of red meat in your stomach. What a great option for people who love meat but don’t want to sacrifice their love for burgers.
