Mushroom hand pie, chocolate olive oil cake, portakalopita, 1/2 pound of mixed oyster and shiitake mushrooms, apple pecan strudel, cheese strudel, ground pork, beef stew cubes, and microgreens -- leek, garlic chives, and purple basil.

Also, went to HipCityVeg after my hair appointment today, and the Impossible Burger is in their Smokehouse Burger (a current special), and it's fantastic!

My gf and I were just talking about how we want to try Impossible Burgers. Was it good?

This was the second time I've had one. The first, at the Fare Well Diner -- a vegan cafe near Union Station -- well, they overcooked it and it was crispy.

HipCityVeg, however, knows how to make a great burger! It was perfectly cooked, and I could have eaten another. The texture is quite like ground beef, if a little softer to the tooth. It is very pink -- I think they use beet for color there -- and while not tasting beefy, it's full of umami so you definitely get the savory-fullness you get from meat.

If the Impossible Burger is available locally at a place that makes good burgers, you should try it.

Awesomely enough, the impossible burger website shows where they're offered locally and I was able to find someplace that does have them!
