    Why it matters: Plant-based burgers may not sound all that appealing for
    meat
    lovers but it's one of those things that is tough to knock until you try.
    If
    nothing else, the Impossible Whopper may be a bit healthier than the
    traditional version as it has roughly 15 percent less fat and 90 percent
    less
    cholesterol.

    Burger King earlier this year started market testing a meat-free version
    of
    its famous Whopper in select restaurants in the St. Louis area. Now, the
    burger chain is preparing to take the Impossible Whopper nationwide.

    From August 8, you'll be able to order an Impossible Whopper at one of
    over
    7,000 BK locations across the country - either on-site or through
    DoorDash.

    Built around a plant-based patty from Impossible Foods, the Impossible
    Whopper doesn't contain any beef yet retains the same texture and taste as >> traditional meat. It's so convincing that even Burger King's corporate
    staff
    that is very familiar with the iconic burger had a hard time
    differentiating
    between a regular Whopper and the Impossible Whopper.

    Burger King isn't the only fast-food chain to experiment with plant-based
    alternatives. Early this year, Carl's Jr. partnered with Beyond Meat to
    bring
    its animal-free creation to more than 1,000 locations across the country.
    You
    can also find Impossible Burgers at select Red Robin, White Castle,
    Hopdoddy
    and Fatburger locations.

    From August 8 through September 1, Burger King will run a promotion in
    which
    DoorDash users can order a regular Whopper and the Impossible Whopper for
    just $7 with free delivery - a bit of a taste test, if you will. Normally, >> the Impossible Whopper sells for $5.59.

    It's not a burger. If it doesn't have meat, it's NOT a burger so I won't be >tasting it or reviewing it.

    Yes, it's a burger.

    Note the many ingredients than can be part of a burger.

    While it's not surprising that you had no idea that this WAS, in fact,
    a burger, you really should keep your mouth shut and not makes such declarations. If you don't want to taste or review it, that's fine,
    however. We will permit that.

    I do however admit that it's fast-food and tehrefore on-topic here, so if >other peaple want to discuss it, go right ahead just leave me out.

    What makes you think you were included?
