Las Vegas: Burger Bar

VeganMac (from the Portland website OnPDX hits 8 the hard way and finds a Vegan burger in Vegas....yep!:

Being Vegan in Las Vegas is like being a nun at a strip club..

This burger is THE Vegan burger at the Burger Bar (and possibly the only Vegan burger in Las Vegas) at the Mandalay Bay Hotel and Casino. The Burger is two portabello mushroom caps with sauteed vegitables between them (Eggplant, Red Pepper, Zucchini). The guy I was with lives in Texas and he snapped this picture because he didn't think anyone in Texas would believe such a burger could ever exist.

It was mighty tastey.

The cost for the burger a whopping $15.45 with tax and tip!

Fulton Pub

ProgressiveBurger visits our local real estate developers (when does the new one open downtown again?) built from fleece and sandals:

For years I complained that there was no vegetarian burger option for happy hour. Every Friday I became more and more distraught. I had to pay $6.75 for a Boca or Gardenburger while my workmates paid $3.50 for a happy hour meat slab o a bun. Last January my years of weekly outrage and complaints paid off, they added the Boca or Gardenburger option to the happy hour menu! And at $3.90 it was a bargain. Comes with the standard greasy Micminimal's fries and order it without the "secret sauce" and a vegan option is born.

Macadam's

Lets call him ProgressiveBurger (what, you don't like early Genesis?.........ears and a heart) and he doesn't put meat to the face:

This is about the only vegetarian option at another wise normal boring SW Portland restaurant. I ordered mine without dairy so it was minus the cheese and "secret sauce". The fries are plain, the sandwich itself was quite good. Vegan on a business lunch rating of "Make sure they pay."

Links: Portland Vegan Reubens

There is a new Portland food blog out there: Portland Vegan Reubens

Always thought we had a narrow lens...proven wrong. Would be funny to see Kenny & Zuke's or Rose's show us what they got in that department (car.....game on!).

Now we have to eat more food.

Veggielicious

Vegan's in the mist:

Between 32nd and 33rd on SE Hawthorne is the foodcart Veggielicious. Quite a few offerings, but burgers it is. Three "burgers" to choose from. For $4.00 the "I can have a cheezeburger?" does the trick. Watch out though. That special sauce is probably healthy and good for you while tasting delicious.

Dots

It's been awhile since the fire (doesn't seem like it though does it?).

SweetHotMustard recently won some raffle prize giftcertificate for Dots from a fundraiser for RideOn (those folks that ride a mini-scooter to the bar you are at, then drive you home so your car is there in the morning for $5.00....soon hopefully). Well, there is burgers on the menu so they got took with the Hamburgler

Both of these were $6.50. That first one is a cheeseburger, then a bacon cheeseburger with a twist. Herb Creamcheese (SweetHotMustard swears by creamcheese as the best topping on a Hot Dog, and now a hamburger).

That monster mess of fries is Bacon and Cheese for $5.00. Add bbq, ranch, 1000 Island, Spicy Sour Cream, Spicy Tofu, or Bueu Cheese.

They have lots of vegan and vegatarian options as well.

Root's Organic Brewing

Vegan burger alert! An anonymous burgler sneaks in with some inner-se action.

She had this to say:

Not sure if it's a commercial burger or homemade. Served on organic New Seasons bun. Very tasty with your choice of condiments. And the sprouts are just icing on the burger.

Shanghai Tunnel

Vegiburger alert (vegan also available) from Portland Hamburglers "SpecialSauce" and "Snacks". Looks like the empire is re-expanding as well.

"SpecialSauce" and "Snacks" headed to the Shanghai Tunnel for happy hour burgers.

The B.O.M.B. is their homemade black bean burger (vegan upon request). Comes with lettuce tomato and red onions. Add cheese for a buck. Comes with fries.

A steal at $4 at happy hour. $6 normal. Add a Pabst for $1. Beer and a burger for $5.

"Snacks" was a little saddened by the lack of plain mustard (just dijon) but is happy with any food that comes with a weapon.

We didn't sample them but they also have the B.A.M.F. Meat burger. $6 at happy hour and $8 regular price.

Bonus Pinball!

Links: Get Sconed!

Uh Oh! Moving into uncharted territories here on Portland Hamburgers. Yep, its vegan time. You have to get creative to come up with some good vegi-burgers or vegan burgers. These burgers by Jess of the great Portland vegan food blog Get Sconed! are lookin' to get eaten.

Check out this action:

Italian influenced grilled portabella burger - with tomato/basil traditional bruschetta topping, roasted red peppers, greens, vegenaise and basil. The shroom was marinated in balsamic vinegar, olive oil, fresh basil, dried oregano and tamari. On the side is what may have been my last local asparagus of the seasons, roasted with olive, oil, sea salt & fresh ground pepper.

Then we get this contender:

PPK test kitchen Black Bean Burger with all the fixings I like - mashed avocado, sliced tomato, hot sauce, lettuce and a bit of Vegenaise. Served with chilled clementine segments and PPK test kitchen blue flannel hash. The chickpea cutlets have some serious competition. These are SO easy to make.
