The BEST veggie burgers to buy at the supermarket
To help you upgrade your store-bought veggie burgers Chowhound spoke with Rich Parente chef and owner of Clock Tower Grill in Brewster New York which features a signature house-made black bean burger. Not only did he share some expert tips on how to keep veggie burgers from falling apart he also provided a few toppings worth putting on the table.
“I’m a big fan of good pickles and a good sauce on my veggie burger” says Parente. “So if you’re starting with something store-bought make some homemade pickles or aioli for your veggie burger.” If you ever find that your store-bought burgers aren’t flavorful or have a texture that’s off these two chef-approved additions can help you take any veggie burger from good to great.
No burger is complete without condiments but for ready-made veggie burgers that can sometimes be bland or dry it’s worth going the extra mile with your toppings. Both homemade pickles and relish can make every bite of burger juicier and more flavorful.
