“Yes, a cheeseburger and fries is probably my favourite meal. But I don’t eat ground beef anymore.” — Eric Schlosser
Once in a while we actually go out to eat, ha ha! One of my favorite spots in San Francisco is The Plant Cafe. 99% of what they serve is organically-grown, and most items on the menu are vegan or can be made vegan. The Plant makes a really great veggie burger called, appropriately, the Plant Burger. Here’s a description of the Plant Burger from The Plant’s menu:
Plant Burger – Served with sides of mixed greens, roasted potatoes & pickles. All Plant burgers are topped with grilled onions, lettuce, tomato & vegan aioli on your choice of focaccia, whole wheat sourdough, or a bun. Patties are made in-house from lentils, mushrooms, beets, cashews & bulgar wheat.
I always order the Wasabi Plant Burger, which is topped with wasabi raspberry aioli and sauerkraut. Usually I order it on focaccia but I forgot this time and so it arrived on wholewheat sourdough, which was actually just as good. I enjoyed this with a Blue Bottle soy latte.
Hamburger Fact: The hamburger “debuted” in the US at the 1904 World’s Fair in St. Louis, Missouri.
looks good and yummy!
Thanks! It’s one of my favorite burgers! The wasabi really “makes” it. 🙂
Looks great! Thanks for sharing: bookmarked 🙂
And thank YOU for commenting! 🙂 I’m glad you bookmarked this one. If you live in the San Francisco Bay Area and you haven’t eaten at The Plant yet I highly recommend that you check it out!
One of these days I’ll walk the 3 blocks and this thing.
It will be worth the walk, don’t worry. 😉 Sooooo good!
This looks delightful!
Thank you HSD! The Plant is a really great restaurant. All of their food is 100% organically grown and they have a lot of grain-free options. 🙂
Vegan and grain-free would be grand– since I don’t do dairy or eggs. I’ll bet the combinations are stunning!
That looks like an amazing combination for a burger! Would love to take a trip to San Francisco sometime soon – I will definitely try The Plant!
Thank you, VegCharlotte, it really is a great combo! 🙂
Oh I’m jealous! Sounds amazing! I’ve been wanting to go to this restaurant but it isn’t anywhere near close to us. haha
Well when you do get to SF Genkikitty I definitely recommend The Plant, The Source, and Millennium, especially The Source; it’s my favorite!
