I love burgers. I've had hundreds, if not over a thousand burgers in my life. Portland Burger Week would see me take down 10 or more in 5-6 days. But every single one I've ever eaten has come at a price: sluggishness, and stomach issues varying from mild discomfort to "I can't hang out tonight." Sadly, it was beginning to not be worth it for me.
I recently decided to gear towards veganism and burgers were still the #1 thing I was most bummed about giving up. Not long into this diet practice, Moo Burgers and Beers opened and I could not be more stoked!!
I've had each burger at least twice now (did I mention I'm stoked to have a vegan burger joint open up nearby?) and it's hard to pick a favorite. If forced to chose I might say The Q. But I also LOVE the Moo burger with cheddar and bacon. The Hot Mess is perfectly spicy, creamy and sweet. The Fun Guy is hands down my favorite mushroom burger out there. I have always had issues with eggs and dairy, so it delights me to no end to be able to eat a burger with aioli and provolone style cheese and not feel the effects for days after! Along with working toward a mostly whole food, plant based diet at home, I can excitedly say that I have eaten burgers here every weekend since it opened. And as long as I'm in town, I will likely keep doing so!
Also of major note: perfect local Grand Central Buns. Moo is thoughtful in crafting their burgers, preparing their food, and choosing local beers, ciders and kombucha to pair with it all!
Cheers, and THANK YOU Moo!!
