That's actually the only thing I'll eat at A&W. Way better than their meat burgers. I don't have moral reservations either way and regularly eat meat burgers, but just on blind taste test for me the Beyond Burger wins hands down over their meat burgers. I think they're absolutely loaded with salt though. Probably not exactly good for you to eat the things on a regular basis. They're softer and almost a little bit... soggy? I dunno. But man are they tasty.

I cook them at home, and you can make them cook up more firmly, and even crispy around the edges like real beef. Just a wee bit of oil in a cast iron pan, high heat for a minute on both sides, then lower the heat before the oil starts to burn. Before it firms up mash the center a bit to make it slightly concave, and it’ll cook more evenly (this is the same as with any ground meat, but more noticeable because the proton bonds aren’t as strong or something).
I save the crumbles from Dot’s pretzels to season my Beyond burgers. If you don’t know what Dot’s pretzels then climb out from under that rock and try ‘em.
