A veggie burger that, dare we say, sways public opinion on “meat-free” in the land of beef is surely a superstar. This housemade (baked, never frozen) patty features brown rice, crimini mushrooms simmered in cream, black beans, oats, onions, cheddar, and fresh-cut parsley. Perhaps most importantly, this budget-friendly wonder stays intact during the chomp sesh, so it’s no wonder even carnivores are fans.
Finalists: Arlo’s, Bouldin Creek Cafe, Nom Burgers, Plow Burger
