Seattle's Top Five Veggie Burgers
In a city that prides itself on fresh veggies, the oldest continually-operating farmer's market in the nation, and creative vegetarian cuisine, the thought of narrowing a staple like the veggie burger down to the top five is, frankly, frightening. This fear confirmed by the more than 30 suggestions that resulted from a quick, informal Facebook poll of people's favorite veggie burgers.
The fear stemmed from two more things. One, I have only one stomach, and this stomach can take a lot of things, but not 30 veggie burgers. Two, the variety of veggie burgers is overwhelming, from handmade nut patties to mass-produced, frozen soy amalgamations. So to narrow down the field, I chose to stay true to Seattle's veggie roots, sticking with only house made veggie burgers. No frozen patties in this fatty!
5. Hudson Public House, 8014 15th Ave NE, 524-5070.
The healthiest burger in the history of history.
If you are looking for a veggie "burger," Hudson's burger is not going to satisfy you. But if you're looking for a massive dose of veggies in the form of a burger, you will be pleasantly surprised. The patty is made of chopped red beets and kale fried to a very light crisp and topped with chevre, undressed microgreens and sage aioli on big Essential Bakery whole wheat bun. Basically, it's beet salad on a bun. If you have $11 and are looking for a truly healthy "burger" option, this creative--if nontraditional--option could just make your day.
