Barring all of the terrible things that I’ve read about BK’s veggie burgers, I had one today and it was actually pretty tasty despite the nauseating atmosphere where it was served to me (Burger King) and where I then devoured it (Burger King).

It’s interesting how quickly you can forget about an employee bathing in a kitchen sink when you’re hungry! Or, how fast you can dispel that the cashier handling your food was scratching her face–with her long nails barely covered with chipped polish–from your thoughts. (And she put her hand around the brim of my cup.)

What I’m saying is, if I’m ever in an airport or a hostage situation and I had to eat a BK veggie burger again, I just might get at one. I spent the entire summer trying to grill veggie patties and BK finally captured that flame-broiled taste I was looking for (or craving, rather).

I hear the patties are no longer vegan (as they originally were), and of course, neither is the mayo. And actually, the buns are made with butter. And actually they might not be grilled.
