I have the opposite story. I was in Buck’s in Woodside, California last summer for lunch after a tough hike in the mountains. I ordered the “Impossible Burger” on the menu because I thought “That sounds like Hungry Man’s lunch.” The various dishes on the menu have some clever names and I thought “Impossible Burger” was just another name in that restaurant.

It came out and was a huge disappointment. Tasted like poor beef. It was runny. The top and bottom were falling off the innards of the patty. It made the bun go soggy and fall apart.

So I did something I hardly ever do...I complained to the waitress.

She patiently explained “Sir, you DO know that’s not a real beef burner, don’t you?”

That was my first introduction to the “Impossible Burger” and also the very last one I ate. That was a tough lesson learned.

Wonder if Wendy's will counter by reviving Where's the Beef?

They updated the recipe for the Impossible Burger to "version 2.0". It tastes much better - not the _same_ as real beef, but it at least _reminds_ of beef.

I prefer to think of it not as a hamburger substitute, but rather as the world's most amazing salad...
