With the growing number of restaurants selling alternative meats like Impossible Burger and Beyond Meat, one thing you should be aware of is that though they are better in terms of sustainability, do you know how it is cooked at the restaurant? If you are vegan or vegetarian, proceed with caution.
Most restaurants will likely use the same oil and grill to make the alternative meat burger as the beef burger. If you are a beef burger eater, this won’t matter much but if you are vegan or vegetarian make sure you ask them to cook the patty separately and away from the beef products. Since I don’t eat beef, I have to ask for this to happen. How do I know that this has been done? I don’t but I’m hoping the restaurant cares about me as a customer and will do that for me.
Next time you’re out, ask the restaurant how they cook their beef and alternative meat burgers as that may sway your decision as to what to eat!
