Yeah, I’m gonna need the name of the brand, because I have a few vegetarian friends and when I do cookouts, they bring their beyond burgers and other plant-based substitutes, and every single one was cooked almost exactly like a burger.

I had a little trial and error with a few patties, since they’re not totally a 1:1 analog, but have had nothing but compliments for the last few picnics.

I definitely ruined the first two as I figured out ways to cook on my griddle top…

I make sure to clean the surface of the griddle of old residue and turn the heat to max for a bit to minimize exposure to any leftover animal fats from previous uses, and toss down the patties for the vegan, then once those are done I put a little butter on the griddle for the vegetarian patties.

The butter helps keep the patties from sticking to my griddle, but is obviously not vegan. The vegan patties I just have to keep paying attention to so nothing chars to the griddle top.

Note: I have not cooked these on a flame grill but it’s supposed to be similar to cooking a regular burger still.
