Thanks! Wed Apr 05 18:10:57 -0700 2006 0 Erika 1 1235034 me again - i don't eat them out much, but at home i like dr. praegers. Wed Apr 05 18:11:51 -0700 2006 1235031 0 harrison 2 1235046 yes, they are great. but where do you find them? Wed Apr 05 19:58:38 -0700 2006 1235034 0 LM 3 1235054 best veggie burger ive had in the city is at candle cafe on 3rd ave and 75th i think. if they had dairy cheese, then it wouldve been even better. i really dig kate's joint's burger...with cheese and fries, its only $6.95 which is really crazy cheap. its also very good. my favorite overall is bonnie's in park slope... Wed Apr 05 21:29:04 -0700 2006 1235046 0 sam 4 1235056 i just had kate's joint's one today for lunch. delicious. they tend be slow, though, so don't be in too much of a rush or you'll be frustrated. i also like tiny's giant sandwiches 'big mack daddy' (or something like that) on the lower east side. Wed Apr 05 21:57:29 -0700 2006 1235054 0 dja 5 1235103 Although I'm not the expert on veggie burgers, I did try the veggie burger at Burger Heaven (number of locations in Midtown East), which was delicious and very big. Worth a try. Thu Apr 06 10:18:02 -0700 2006 1235056 0 Kuhllax24 3 1235096 i live on uws and get them at fairway. i think fresh direct has them too. Thu Apr 06 09:45:01 -0700 2006 1235046 0 harrison 2 1235129 Pragers were available at COSTCO a few monthes ago and we have been enjoying them at home with a salad. Also the garden burger brand is quite good but not sure where you get them these days. Boca burgers are a good imitation of a cheap grilled burger taste. The other two described above don't taste anything like beef but have nice veggie flavor. Dr. Pragers tends to be a bit on the greasy side, so I like to blot them after cooking. Thu Apr 06 11:26:16 -0700 2006 1235034 0 tigerwoman 3 1235180 I like Gardenburgers the best of them all. They have them at most "regular" supermarkets -- Associated, etc. Thu Apr 06 14:03:02 -0700 2006 1235129 0 valerie 1 1235055 Zen Palate makes two kinds of veggie burgers. The ones made with black mushrooms are excellent, and amazingly real burgerish. Goes great with yam tempura fries. This is coming from an orthodox omnivore.

Thu Apr 06 10:08:30 -0700 2006 1235031 0 freddie 2 1235253 Thanks - I always wondered whether that was vegetarian (as opposed to a burger with mushrooms on top). So no more missing out on the Shack! Thu Apr 06 20:28:23 -0700 2006 1235101 0 piccola 3 1235262 The shroom burger is one of those very meaty mushroom things for vegetarians who miss meat. If you actually like veggies and don't like meat, you may not like this meaty mushroom! Thu Apr 06 22:03:13 -0700 2006 1235253 0 David Lerner
