Still, I know what it’s like to be like “I’M HUNGRY NOW” so a bunch of these are ready with minimal effort and time as well. That said, a lot of these can be prepped ahead of t ..read more

The classic little burger from McDonald’s, only we are making these VEGAN Cheeseburgers, identical (and better) than the original! McDonald’s has been making these little cheeseburgers since the 1940s, and I started eating them 40 years later! In fact in the 90s, they would go on special for 39¢ every Wednesday and me and my pals would go gorge ourselves on them. I would typically eat about 7 – 10 of ’em and then feel awful of course. Well, since we are making these Vegan Cheeseburgers, you won’t feel nearly as awful (though I don’t suggest you eat 10 of them either!) why you’ll dig vegan mcd ..read more

The Original Double Decker Burger, 30 years older than the Big Mac, only we are making this guy into a VEGAN BIG BOY! Growing up my family went to the original Bob’s Big Boy quite often. Usually when we would visit my grandparents. I always loved it and I always ordered a Big Boy! I rarely was able to finish it, but when I did I was rewarded with a Hot Fudge Sundae Cake! Which I definitely never finished! Suffice to say, I enjoy these just as much if not more, and I think you will too! big mac vs. big boy So most people today will think that this is just a rip-off of the Big Mac, but the opp ..read more

A Vegan Sourdough Jack as good if not better than the original! I should know as I’ve eaten no less than 1000 of these! Next to Carl’s Jr. and Del Taco, Jack in the Box was one of my favorite fast food places. It was cheap, they were open late and they catered to dirtbags like me. I ordered this burger all the time! So of course I had to make a Vegan Sourdough Jack to relive my old not so glory days! If you’re unfamiliar, the Sourdough Jack is one of the old school, underrated burgers at Jack in the Box. It’s pretty simple, just comprised of a cheeseburger with bacon, tomato and ketchup and m ..read more

A Vegan Smash Burger like Shake Shack is easy when you know how to properly smash and make the amazing Shack Sauce! It’s a simple but delicious creation! Today we are VEGANIZING the famous Shack Burger! It’s a pretty simple cheeseburger with a couple of cool components. First is that Shack Sauce! It’s a solid burger sauce, however I’m using the recipe from the Shack Shack book. They make the caveat that the recipes in the book are not EXACTLY like the ones in the restaurant, but “close enough” which I think is fair to be honest. That being said, when making the Shack Sauce like the book, I fo ..read more

If you’re a vegan in California and miss In-N-Out, or if you’ve never had one and want to know what all the hoopla is about, these VEGAN In-N-Out Burgers are for you! Growing up in Southern California, I’ve eaten my fair share of Animal Style Double Doubles from In-N-Out, and I gotta say, this recipe comes shockingly close to what I remember (my non-vegan neighbor said they were “Spot On!”) In fact, I dare say they are better for a few reasons. First, you don’t have to leave your house and deal with the never ending drive-thru line at In-N-Out. Which is actually why I learned to make these ye ..read more

The ICONIC New York Sandwich but plant-based, a VEGAN Chopped Cheese! Cheesy, beefy goodness on a roll. Too good not to share!! Living my entire life in Southern California, I had never heard of a Chopped Cheese until a few folks requested I make one. Within the first five minutes of researching it, I knew I had to whip one up as soon as possible! At first, you might think it’s like a Philly Cheesesteak, but you’d be wrong. It’s really more like an amazing Cheeseburger on a hero roll, and that’s the reason why I fell in love with it! I’ve made these a few times over the past few years, and r ..read more

A Vegan Patty Melt loaded with Caramelized Onions, a Creamy Pepper Sauce, on grilled Texas Toast will make you say What A Burger! It’s been a while since I’ve veganized WHATABURGER so I thought I’d make one of my all time favorites, the Vegan Patty Melt! Now look, I’ll admit, I’ve never had the original from Whataburger, but I can say with pretty full confidence that if you make this the way I did, it’ll cure any craving you might have for it. And if you’ve never had one, then you need to make this ASAP as it’s just a darn good burger. Without hyperbole, it’s in my top 5 that I’ve ever made v ..read more

A SOLID Homemade VEGAN BURGER PATTY option, made with TVP! These are CHEAP, EASY and ready in 30 Minutes! I do love a good Impossible or Beyond Burger. And I’m lucky to live in a city where they are widely available. I realize that isn’t the case for everyone, so here’s a recipe for cheaper homemade burger patties! For these burgers, we’re using TVP as the base, but not vital wheat gluten as I wanted to make these as easy to cook as possible and also provide a gluten free option. When I tested out a batch with vital wheat gluten, I found that you really need to steam them first to get a good ..read more

Somehow McDonald’s screwed up a BBQ drenched sandwich, so let’s fix that and make a Vegan McRib! This is way better than the Original! I first made a Jackfruit Seitan McRib a while back, and was curious if I could make a Vegan McRib that was a bit easier and less laborious using store-bought plant based meat, and turns out you can! And let’s be honest, the original McRib is garbage! And I say that as somebody who used to eat the crappy burgers from AM/PM! Everytime McDon’s would release the McRib I would get one, and everytime I would be disappointed! why you’ll dig a vegan mcrib Not so with ..read more
