Quest for the ULTIMATE Veggie Burger!

Brooklyn is a beautiful and expansive place full of wonderful people, music, and culture. Increasingly Brooklyn has start to become recognized for the variety of fantastic culinary delights it offers.

Notable among Brooklyn's many restaurants is how they have embraced vegetarians and vegans. There are numerous vegetarian restaurants and even non-vegetarian restaurants which have many vegetarian selections on the menu (not just the cursory salad or pasta dish).

Given such an atmosphere, I am disheartened by the lack of one dish in particular -- the Veggie Burger.

I have had a veggie burger at over a dozen different establishments here in Park Slope, and every single one of them disappointed.

When I say veggie burger, I don't mean a mish mash of broccoli, peas, potatoes and who knows what else put between two pieces of bread with condiments. This is the kind of veggie burger most commonly found at diners. It's gross and basically insulting in its thought that vegetarians are some kind of garbage disposal for vegetables who care little about taste.

The one veggie burger I have enjoyed has been at Johnny Rocket's (they use a boca patty). Even though they do not make the patty themselves, they grill it perfectly, and the lettuce, tomatoes, and onions they use are fresh and delicious. I hate to have to be in midtown to enjoy this.

Recently in Park Slope Atomic Wings opened and I was disappointed by their veggie burger. I understand its a wings place but don't put a veggie burger on the menu if it isn't good. My carnivore friends have said their wings are great, however.

So now I ask for you, the message board saavy denizens of Park Slope to join me on a quest for the ultimate veggie burger. Tell me where you had a good veggie burger in the slope, what was good about it, and other details like does the restaurant deliver. Also tell us where you had a bad veggie burger (Burger Bar's sucked) so we veggie burger enthusiasts know to avoid it.

Thank you for your time
