They make a Beyond Whopper now. I'm gonna try it some day. But not this day.
It's fine.
Yep. It's fine. I wouldn't say it's like the real thing but I might order it again if I land in a BK during a trip or something.

Unless they've recently added this to their menu, it's actually an Impossible Whopper (the rival fake-meat company). As a former vegetarian, with a wife who still is, I've eaten quite a few, because their two-for-whatever sale is the only way they're affordable. I like them, though, probably as much as the real McCoy.
as a current vegetarian i would have interest in the impossible whopper but i believe i've read they still grill the patties on the same grill so it just seems risky to me that i'd get beef flakes or certainly the beef juice/grease mixed in there. that might lean more towards veganism, which i'm not, but it's still something i'd rather not deal with.

of the "traditional" fast food places, taco bell is the only one i feel comfortable ordering from as its a 1 for 1 swap of beef for black beans and since taco bell has mastered the process of using the same 5 ingredients just packaged differently, i can still have all the craziness of say, a chalupa. that makes me proud to be an american.

My son's a vegetarian, so I've eaten my fair share of Beyond/Impossible burgers. I can't tell them apart. But they're also unexpectedly good. Like, I don't even like vegetables, and hate those old black bean veggie burger patties. And I find the Beyond/Impossible burgers legit great.

I just haven't had the fake Whopper yet.

Yeah, Taco Bell is the bee's [expletive] knees for carnivores and herbivores alike.
