FRUITS AND VEGGIES MONDAY||SLUTTY VEGAN

Hooray for fruits and veggies Monday and thanks to @lenasveganliving for creating this community and our gracious host @plantstoplanks. I am so happy to have received 2nd place in last weeks competition. This week I am reviewing a vegan restaurant that is taking Atlanta to a new level in vegan cuisine.

My daughter had me out in the cold rainy weather, in the middle of the week, standing in line for hours for a veggie burger. She had previously told me about a food truck that serve up vegan burgers with names with a sexual innuendo. She informed me that the food truck was doing so well that they were opening up a brick and mortar location. I checked them out on the internet and found that people were raving about these vegan burgers and comparing them to beef burgers. Even people who weren't vegan were giving these burgers the thumbs up.

I had to find out why these vegan burgers were allegedly so good. I watched a video from the company that makes what they call "the impossible burger" that is plant based. The impossible burger looks like a real beef burger. It is pink in it's uncooked stage and brown when it is fully cooked.

As we stood in line waiting for them to open, I watched through the window as they prepared the impossible burgers. The burgers were stored in clear plastic containers and they looked just like uncooked beef burgers. The cook put the patties on the grill and cooked them like regular burgers. The cook then put a handful of vegan cheese on top of the patty and the vegan cheese melted just like real cheese make from cow's milk. There was a cook that toasted the Hawaiian buns on the other side of the grill then passed them to the next station for the assembly of the burgers.

The Slutty Vegan only features a few burgers each day so your choices are limited. I had decided, while in line, that I was going to order a "Super Slut" which had jalapenos, guacamole, grilled onions, and vegan cheese on a Hawaiian bun. But when the Line Captain came out, he informed us that they were only serving 3 different burgers and the vegan hot dog that day. So I ended up ordering a "One Night Stand" with vegan bacon, vegan American cheese, grilled onions, lettuce, tomato and special sauce on a Hawaiian bun.

The Slutty Vegan operation is efficient, the Line Captain keeps everyone informed as to what is happening for that day. This particular day it was cold and raining so the Line Captain was passing out napkins for our cold and runny noses. He answered questions and keep the line moving smoothly. As we entered the building, we ordered and paid for our food with a debit or credit card, no cash, then moved to another line to wait for our food. One person can only order two burgers, strict rule. French fries and a pickle accompany all orders.

This is not a sit down restaurant, you get your food and go. When we got our food we headed back to the car which was parked three blocks away. The time was 5:04 pm, we arrived at 3:11 pm. The Slutty Vegan is about 25 minutes from my house so we decided to eat the burgers in the car, I hate to eat cold food.

When I took my first bite, I knew what everyone was raving about. That toasted bun did not get soggy with that special sauce they use. That sauce was amazing, it was spicy with a little sweetness and it made the burger. The vegan cheese was soft and gooey like real dairy cheese. I didn't notice the vegan bacon on my burger until I was almost finish. The texture of the impossible vegan burger was like that of a beef burger. The overall taste was phenomenal, it was the best vegan burger I've had. Even the french fries were good, crisp on the outside and tender on the inside and sprinkled with seasoning.

Of course I ordered one to take home for my husband. I used his burger to take these pictures.

Can you see the vegan bacon on the burger? So what we had was a Bacon Cheeseburger, vegan style. I highly recommend this vegan burger, but I don't want to stand in another line to get it.
I have been Sluttified.
