Since when were the vegetables more expensive and fancier than the meat? It always boggles my mind to see these veggie cuisines priced higher than those made with meat. See, in my motherland Korea, meat is still uber expensive and when I lived there (which was roughly 20 yrs ago) it would cost us an arm and a leg to get Korean BBQ (think couple hundred bucks to feed a family of 4; consider two of us being tiny little girls). Bam, I arrive in the states and meat is literally everywhere! I don’t even know how often I got to eat it… like EVERYDAY(?!), which I think did me good at least appearance wise, because it helped me grow a few inches and some chest too. lol

So I got to have my very first Veggie Burger experience last night and I must say that I was quite impressed. It came complete with toasted wheat buns and a fresh salad with quinoa. While definitely mini compared to the regular burgers, it was a very fulfilling, delicious meal. Whoever came up with the veggie patty is a genius, I say. but my economical twin asks, why the ridiculous price?!? $10 for a burger made with vegetables that cost a fraction of the meat price? Someone please explain to me what is going on here…? In that case, I might start making veggie patties at home.

veggies take a lot more preparation i think– which may be the reason they cost so much more than meat at restaurants :)
my favorite veggie burgers are from ‘the counter’. yummy sweet potato fries too!
That’s totally true! but still, $10 for a veggie burger vs. $3 In N Out goodness?! o.O
