Jason Mraz tweeted some high praise for this fantastic Black Bean Burger:

After trying them all, the award for world’s best black bean/veggie burger goes to The Chicago Diner on N Halsted. Meat free since 83.

Can you blame him? Sauteed mushrooms, onions & spinach with deep fried jalapeno, tomato & melted vegan cheese on a hearty oat bun.

What an impressive veggie burger, however this was not bought from the frozen section of a grocery store. It was hand crafted from scratch using just plant ingredients.

The beef and bacon substitutes are made from seitan (wheat protein or gluten). There’s a hearty oat sprinkled bun and spicy chipotle sauce. The magic topping is french fried onion rings.
