A good burger is a special type of comfort food. There’s something instantly familiar about a perfectly assembled stack of ingredients, with a hand-packed patty, and a few well-placed artistic flourishes.
Of course, the same principles apply to a strong veggie burger… even more so, if you ask us! The patty must be carefully curated with fresh and hearty ingredients that aren’t simply trying to masquerade as a regular burger. To make each component truly sing, it takes a skilled chef who isn’t concerned about making a replacement for meat. The following local burgers are their own thing, that stand in NO shadow. So, if you’ve been meaning to eat more greens (or you’re just looking to sample the different, delicious variations on a good thing), keep these local grill spots in mind!
