I Tried The Impossible Whopper And The Beyond Sandwich…
I happen to be walking by my local Burger King the other day and saw the advertisement for the Impossible Whopper, their new plant-based burger. I don’t really eat at Burger King unless I get the occasional fries. I used to eat Whoppers when I was a teenager, but I stopped eating red meat after college.
So I was eager to try this burger. It is great that more fast food restaurants are accommodating alternative food choices. Some do it better than others. I thought the sandwich was delicious, and it tasted just like the beef Whoppers of my youth. I know a lot of people say they don’t like it because of the different texture. I didn’t really notice it, but I don’t have a red meat palette anymore.
But it is still an unhealthy choice because of the high amount of sodium in it. I would eat again, but I wouldn’t go out of my way to eat it. If I was somewhere where Burger King was the only food option, I would definitely eat it again!
I also tried Dunkin Donuts’ Beyond sandwich, which comes with plant-based breakfast sausage, egg, and cheese. I was okay. It was very spicy but okay. I don’t think I will eat it again. I don’t really eat real sausage unless it is my Cuban neighbor’s spicy chorizo during his Fourth of July barbeque. But, then again, aren’t all the Dunkin Donuts okay? The food there is designed for people on the go.
