O Burger

I had the yummiest veggie burger today from O Burger in West Hollywood. The burger was handmade with roasted corn, and it was crispy. It was layered with all of these great veggies, and they had a choice of vegan sauces to go on it, including a vegan thousand island and a vegan chipotle - I chose the thousand island. It was fantastic!

Now, I haven’t really scoured LA for veggie burgers, but of all of the ones I’ve tried, this was hands down the best. It wasn’t too garlicky, it was just good! They also make vegan milkshakes and salads.

The only bummer about this place is that they do serve meat. But the owner of the restaurant only buys meat from organic farms, etc… not ideal at all, but it’s a step in the right direction. Hopefully, one day, they’ll stop using meat altogether. Maybe if everyone storms the building ordering veggie burgers, he will realize he doesn't need the meat!

Who in your town has the best veggie burger?

My favorite here in LA is the Veggie Grill.  Its huge and delicious and the sweet potato fries are super duper awesome!!!

In NYC, Blossom Cafe has a great vegan bacon cheeseburger that's great.  I with they served sandwiches at all their locations, but for now they only carry them at the cafe on the UWS :(

One of the most amazing veggie burger experiences I ever had was in the UK in the late 80s (I've  been veg a LONG TIME, y'all) -- there's a chain restaurant called Wimpy that does a spicy bean burger and it was the most yummy thing when I had it -- beans and veggies and so delicius. I've not equalled it in the US in 20 years. http://www.wimpy.uk.com/menu-salad.html

We went to LA a week ago and came across O Burger, what a blessed day it was!!!  I had the veggie burger and it was to die for!  It was so fresh, healty, crispy and tasty.  The owner is from South Africa too, he is very friendly.  Andy is a very health consious chef and you will only get the best burgers there.  I wanted a veggie burger for dinner too.... Please go and visit O Burger when you are in LA, you won't be sorry! 

I second Karen's recommendation of the Counter. I live in Pasadena CA and that is my favorite veggie burger by far. I just read this article and suggested to my girlfriend that we track down the O Burger restaurant though. 

The Counter makes a very nice veggie burger.  It has brown rice, veggies and cranberries.  No soy or processed stuff.  I like their set up, because you can get it burger style or on top of a salad.

The absolute BEST vegan veggie burger I had was at The Chicago Diner - their blackbean burger. Seriously, it is the stuff dreams are made from; that and their peanut butter cookie dough milkshake -- I want to move to Chicago just so I can eat there more often, lol. Triple Rock in MPLS is pretty nummy too!

The burger on the picture doesn't sound too yummy to me... My sister cook over-excellent hamburgers and paninis...
