    I’m not seeing “local” or “farm-fresh” - gonna have to knock a buck off.

      The truly funny thing about that is it is a real food menu item and description I cherry picked from a local restaurant. No creativity on my end required.

        890 calories for a vegan burger before any fries or anything is quite impressive

          Agreed, but it honestly still tastes kinda funny compared to a "real burger," having tried it before. If I was going to go full "vegan" I would personally avoid anything pretending to be a burger at a minimum, with the exception of maybe an "Impossible Burger" every now and then if I got a craving as it comes somewhat close. I honestly wouldn't even try going anything close to vegan as a whole until lab-grown meat becomes a real, mass produced, phenomenon. Even then, though, it's hard to say if that would still truly be considered "vegan."

            Honestly, even as a meat eater I think a good bean burger tastes better than 90% of those "fake meat" burgers. The long time vegetarians I know were annoyed when restaurants started replacing vegetarian food for vegetarians with vegetarian food for "new vegetarians" and flexatarians.

              Yeah, I’ve had amazing portobello based dishes that aren’t trying to be something else and they’re great.
