Kale on a burger seems acceptable, but the fact that there is no sauce or condiment whatsoever on it seems weird.

[@wolfgirl5636]

I noticed that as well

[@johnsyers8212]

I rarely put condiments on my homemade burgers. In my opinion, condiments are for adding flavor and avoiding dryness. My burgers are very flavorful and so juicy they usually fall apart. Even though Andrew's burger has a lot less vegetables than mine, the burger is just as juicy and probably more flavorful. No condiments necessary.

[@hubbybubby7867]

i simply don’t like condiments so i didn’t even notice

[@BijinMCMXC]

Yea a burger with zero condiments is just weird. Gotta at least have some sauce on the buns.

[@slashandbones13]

When I am out to eat, I have the condiments but at home, it's usually just ketchup or barbecue sauce.

[@lexo30]

Fun fact: roasting kale in the oven doesn't in fact rob it of all nutritional value. It reduces the Vitamin C and beta-carotene level, but kale already has so much of those things that it still retains quite a lot after being crisped, and the Vitamin K content remains the same.

[@dracobutwhatever8611]

My fave veggie burger recipe comes from Hot For Food… she uses veggie ground round for texture and vital wheat gluten to help bind it. I don’t mind using the faux ground round personally but you could skip that entirely. The vital wheat gluten is the genius part if you’re wanting to do it totally plant based 😊

[@thirstfast1025]

I thought the "Runny Out Of Thyme" burger looked interesting. I might try making it after seeing you try this one

[@43Jodo]

Great episode; I felt like you were kind of excited to do this one. The trial and error process is always fun to see and it was cool two recipes in one video, and to see you make a veggie burger for the first time. Plus Bob's Burgers is a great show. I hope that the biweekly schedule with Alvin is helping you feel better.

That might be something to consider in my cooking. I love the depth and flavor mushroom can add to a dish, but the texture has always put me off way too much. Maybe I should try that in meatballs...

[@fredkennedy8435]

I’m so happy to hear the news. I’m not a vegetarian but I stopped buying meat for home cooking. It’s a wonderful journey realigning your cooking to a meatless ingredient list. It’s fun and super rewarding learning to make rich and deep flavors/textures without meat. I hope you bring this to your channel :) It means a lot to some people. I hope you know that!! You should dive deeper into meatless patties. There’s a lot here!

Babish, since you made a veggie burger in this episode, I'd like to bring up a point about one of your most famous episodes: namely, the Krabby Patty. I don't know if you're aware, but the creators of Spongebob Squarepants did an interview about the Krabby Patty and revealed that it does NOT have any meat products in it; it is a veggie burger. Might be maybe worth revisiting that episode at another time.

[@cherie..cherry]

Not entirely. I feel you can be very creative in making meat replacements, especially for you come from a culture that eats a lot of meat. But I agree there are so many meals that are naturally plant based people don’t know about. People thing less meat means you just eat salads but it’s further from the truth

[@MasterAttendant]

So true.. Most fake meats and dairy products taste horrid and besides there's already hundreds of vegan recipes that's already existing decades before fake meat was even a thing.

[@sukulmati]

Yup. There are mental blocks you have that you don't even realize the strength of and trying to substitute look-alikes will lead to disappointment. But also remember that you are human and don't beat yourself up for just wanting a burger.

Tapioca and rice starch can help be used as binders if you don’t want to use egg whites

[@utopianfiat]

Try using vital wheat gluten as a binder, including textured vegetable protein for texture, and steaming the patties for about 30 min after forming them. This offers a very meaty texture that holds together and freezes well, and is compatible with a lot of vegetable bases. Many recipes suggest using beets for that red meat appearance.

Flax seed also helps bind pretty well id also coat in panko before searing it should help get that crispy crust

It needs room for the juices to move throughout the meat crumbles. That’s what prevents the ballooning and makes a super tender juicy patty.
