We tried Shake Shack's new veggie burger - here's the verdict

Apr 17, 2018, 01:38 IST

The "Veggie Shack" is made with black beans, brown rice, and roasted beets and is topped with provolone cheese, lettuce, onions, pickles, and a vegan mustard mayo.

The patty itself avoids two of the biggest issues of veggie burgers: mushiness and dryness. Shake Shack manages to replicate the crisp char of a grilled burger by adding a textural grain coating.

Each bite is crisp and fresh — the raw white onions and pickles add a bright and crunchy note to the savory, bean-based patty. This burger doesn't try to be a hamburger, and that's its greatest strength. It embraces the texture and flavors of the patty's ingredients.

This is a rare veggie burger — no pun intended. Despite Shake Shack's beefy bona fides, the veggie goodness of this burger shines through. It's satisfying, but not overwhelming. In our opinion, it's far superior to the very rich and decadent Shroomburger, which is currently the only vegetarian burger option that's available at all Shake Shacks.
