had my first impossible burger this weekend. the patty itself was like 6oz and cost $15 just for the burger (no fries). i'm in NYC and even this is a bit high for the area. it was also sitting on a large bun topped with lettuce/tomorrow. the patty was overwhelmed. I thought it tasted just ok and would give it a C. The whopper patty tastes better IMO.

I tasted the impossible burger a while ago and was underwhelmed by the taste. In NY we had bareburgers that provided us with the impossible before BK.

It's better than a typical veggie burger for sure but will definitely not choose it over meat.

In addition to the other people who commented, I'll add that, like beef, impossible burger will vary based on the cook. So things like seasoning and level of doneness have a big impact. I'm a big hamburger fan, and I had a well seasoned, medium rare impossible burger and thought the flavor was great. Texture was different, but not bad. Anyway, I'd also recommend giving it another try.

I'd give it another go, they debuted a new version at CES back in January which people say is a lot better than the old version.

Every review I've seen has said the new version is much better, and that's just starting to roll out.

You likely had the impossible 1.0, which is supposed to be inferior. I've had the 1.0, and it was decent. The 2.0 is very hard to find, even in California, but easy to find the 1.0.

yup, in LA there's monty's ( https://montysgoodburger.com/ ). it's similarly priced ($16, i think), but that's too much for a mediocre burger. to be fair, it usually has a line. but for that price, it really needs to be comparable to father's office or plan check, which are both delicious.

Wait, what?

Not unusual for nyc

Whopper patties IMHO are the worst fast food burger patties. Sometimes they're over-microwaved and on the border of inedible. I can't imagine an impossible burger tasting worse.

Burger King actually flame grills their burger patties - are you saying they are overly tough or overly burnt?
