    Why the need to be PETA-approved, 'cause this US-based organization is so popular? Really, they're not all that ethical all the time. I'd rather hear what the SPCA has to say.
    In any case, i like vegemeat and i wanna try out the dining spots mentioned here.

    they all look appetizing. however, majority of the price is rather discouraging :o)

    rather eat natural veggies than processed ones. also the price is not practical. veggie burgers are way overpriced!

    Also, veggie burgers aren't always good meat alternatives, especially if you're trying to cut down on calories. And yes, they taste horrible (the ones I've tasted anyway).

    I really had a terrible experience. Sorry :-P

    The reason why I detest meatless burger is because I really has a terrible experience. I was once in a vegetarian restaurant, which I won't mention its name because it is very popular especially to the New Age types. I have no problem with vegetarian restaurants, in fact I love them to bits. Anyway, the crux of the matter is that eating their famous burger is like eating sawdust and cardboard. It was tasteless beyond belief! The only thing I can taste is the home-made mayonnaise that was slathered all over the patties. If some restaurant claim that theirs is a healthier alternative, they should be very particular where they get their vegetables. It should be organic and not an ounce of pesticide or chemical fertilizer should touch it and it was sourced from just means. Meaning, the farmer who produced it wasn't shortchanged or does not employ cheap labor.

    Not only that, veggie burgers should taste diabolically delicious. That's why the burger joint that shares its name with Eng Bee Tin is still number one. Why? because their company vision is summarized in two words: langhap sarap.

    I have a huge problem with this article: It doesn't say what the burgers taste like! Do they taste like meat? If not, how does one describe the taste of a meatless burger patty--is it nutty like arugula, earthy like mushroom, starchy like potato?

    Taste! That's the most important thing when you write a food article!!!

    Eversince BK pulled out their veggie burger I've only been able to eat it at home when buying frozen from Healthy Options. I recently discovered Good Burger but have only been able to try once, though will be back again :) Thanks for this INFO! <3

    Red meat has been known to cause cancer and so many other diseases. Veggie burgers can save you from cancer if you love eating burgers!

    thanks for the list SPOT!

    Cute. But vegetarian burger? What's the point? If I want to eat vegetable, I'll get a salad. I still love the smell of seared meat and rendered fat. Thanks for the alternative choices anyway.

    “We do not make food that pretends to be meat. We want to attract meat-eaters to a new way of eating vegetables without being intimidated or turned off.”

    Good point!

    Apart from the PETA recommended ones, are the rest truly vegan-as in no eggs used?
