It's an interesting concept, though: I've never met an occasional-burger-eating vegan before.

And yes, that's one tasty burger.

But, the PB&BB at Twilight Exit is better, IMO.

So there.

Then again I grew up eating Vegemite so whatever.

Aside from sounding like something Homer Simpson would love, shouldn’t they call that one The Widow-maker?

I hope that restaurant has a defibrillator on the premises.

I'm a little thrown by the "not your business" comment, though. Why so defensive?

But bacon is even better, because you can eat it while feeling bad for people who keep kosher, people who eat halal, and vegetarians, too. It's like a triple-bank-shot of feeling bad for those less fortunate.

@12, 16: It's pretty clear why she'd said that. Look at 4.

Would peanut butter help?

(I'm what my friend calls a "vegan in training" -- I can't seem to give up cheese but can avoid everything else.)

To quote Margaret Cho in what I intend to be a fun way and to make fun of myelf: "Never fuck with Vegans. They will fuck you up. ... because they're hungry!"

"We take eighteen ounces of sizzling ground beef, and soak it in rich, creamery butter, then we top it off with bacon, ham, and a fried egg. We call it the 'Good Morning Burger'!"

As for Vegemite, I had no idea what it was when I was in Australia and ate it for the first time. I almost threw up right away...

To each his own acquired tastes...

Although I have several friends who are either vegan or vegetarian (how to distinguish - anything with a mother or anything with eyes?), I accommodate their dietary requests when I host them. On the other hand, when I am hosted by them, it would never occur to me to ask them to fry up a rasher of bacon. So vegan-wise there actually is no tit for tat.

There was a place in Los Angeles in the 70s called Hampton's and they had about 110 different hamburgers on their menu. One of them came with peanut butter and jelly. I once asked a waiter if anyone ever orders it, and he said, "Yeah, sometimes they do."

It's the only other place I've ever seen PB on a hamburger.

How come you don't experience what a lot of my friends experience when they go without beef for an extended period of time and then cave in to a craving? It usually makes them kind of sick - like eating too much dessert or drinking too much egg nog. It's as if the body can't cope with the sudden richness.

@19 - the comment @ 4 has nothing to do with Amy Kate's decision to go vegetarian. It's just a blanket comment about vegans.

Now back to the burger talk....

Garlic ricotta base, mozzarella and gorgonzola cheeses, sliced Granny Smith apples, red onions, mandarin oranges, mushrooms and roasted cashews.

Bizarre as it sounds, it's so delicious that my friends and I order it almost to the exclusion of other pizzas.

How is it different from peanut sauce with chicken. Try it, you'll like it...
