Currently, he is the Brand Director for Roli Roti and is the video producer for restaurant podcast, Menu Stories and co-founder of food-inspired streetwear line, Mother Sauce.

One of the most obvious is the reported overall health benefits of reducing meat in one's diet (like a lowered risk in developing certain cancers), but perhaps just as important is the sustainability of having a plant-based eating regiment. \u003c/span>\u003cbr>\n[aside tag='vegan' label='More Meatless Alternatives']\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">As Beyond Meat and Impossible Foods—the two companies arguably leading the American movement towards lower meat consumption—espouse, the environmental implications of raising livestock for an ever-growing meat-hungry world population are many and are dangerous. A quick look at Beyond Meat's website will tell you, a staggering 66 billion animals are killed per year to satisfy the world's diet for animal proteins, which gives way to over half of the global greenhouse gas emissions. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Both companies have been thrust into the spotlight, given their line of plant-based products that mimic not only the flavor of meat but the texture as well. In the case of Impossible Foods, their product even mimics the bloodiness of animal proteins, thanks to a molecule called \"heme\" which gives blood its red color and is found in animal tissue and plants alike. Their products can now be found in grocery stores and restaurants around the nation, including establishments like White Castle and more recently, Burger King, with their Impossible Whopper. Even KFC has announced plans to have an Impossible chicken sandwich in the United Kingdom.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">With mainstream eateries adopting ready-made plant protein products into their menu mainstays, it is safe to say that both companies have crafted a convincing substitute, even for the most discerning carnivores. In fact, \u003c/span>\u003ca href=\"https://www.latimes.com/business/la-fi-impossible-burger-shortages-20190615-story.html\">\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">there are reports\u003c/span>\u003c/a>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\"> that Impossible has had some trouble keeping up with the demand for their product in the aforementioned fast food chains. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Outside of just cooking up burgers, Bay Area chefs have found their groove, using these plant-protein patties in tasty and creative ways to make missing meat a lot less painful. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>VeganBurg\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://www.google.com/maps/place/VeganBurg+San+Francisco/@37.7702859,-122.4486746,17z/data=!3m1!4b1!4m5!3m4!1s0x808580accd91e783:0xcdbeaf68fb9bc2ae!8m2!3d37.7702859!4d-122.4464859\">\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">1466 Haight St\u003c/span>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">.\u003c/span>\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\nSan Francisco\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_133996\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-medium wp-image-133996\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2019/06/IMG_7304edit-1-800x525.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"525\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2019/06/IMG_7304edit-1-800x525.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2019/06/IMG_7304edit-1-160x105.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2019/06/IMG_7304edit-1-768x504.jpg 768w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2019/06/IMG_7304edit-1-1020x670.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2019/06/IMG_7304edit-1-1200x788.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">The Avocado Beetroot and Creamy Shrooms are two of VeganBurg's crowdpleasers. \u003ccite>(Patrick Wong)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">After launching in Singapore in 2010, \u003ca href=\"https://www.veganburg.com/\">VeganBurg\u003c/a> opened its first American outpost in 2015—years before both Impossible and Beyond were publicly available plant-protein options. VeganBurg definitely has its handle on making meat-free burgers, and everything on their menu is vegan (with gluten-free options sprinkled in). Their menu is 95% made in-house, and among that 5% that is not made in-house is the Impossible Burger. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">While VeganBurg's traditional burgers are tasty all on their own, the addition of the Impossible Burger adds another dimension with its \"bleeding\" heme-filled plant-protein product.

One of the most obvious is the reported overall health benefits of reducing meat in one's diet (like a lowered risk in developing certain cancers), but perhaps just as important is the sustainability of having a plant-based eating regiment. \u003c/span>\u003cbr>\n\u003c/p>\u003c/div>","attributes":{"named":{},"numeric":[]}},{"type":"component","content":"","name":"aside","attributes":{"named":{"tag":"vegan","label":"More Meatless Alternatives "},"numeric":[]}},{"type":"contentString","content":"\u003cdiv class=\"post-body\">\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">As Beyond Meat and Impossible Foods—the two companies arguably leading the American movement towards lower meat consumption—espouse, the environmental implications of raising livestock for an ever-growing meat-hungry world population are many and are dangerous. A quick look at Beyond Meat's website will tell you, a staggering 66 billion animals are killed per year to satisfy the world's diet for animal proteins, which gives way to over half of the global greenhouse gas emissions. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Both companies have been thrust into the spotlight, given their line of plant-based products that mimic not only the flavor of meat but the texture as well. In the case of Impossible Foods, their product even mimics the bloodiness of animal proteins, thanks to a molecule called \"heme\" which gives blood its red color and is found in animal tissue and plants alike. Their products can now be found in grocery stores and restaurants around the nation, including establishments like White Castle and more recently, Burger King, with their Impossible Whopper. Even KFC has announced plans to have an Impossible chicken sandwich in the United Kingdom.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">With mainstream eateries adopting ready-made plant protein products into their menu mainstays, it is safe to say that both companies have crafted a convincing substitute, even for the most discerning carnivores.

And the customization doesn't stop there; highly recommended are the additions of the vegan bacon and adding an order of their seaweed fries or their Chick'n Tenders with Vegan Ranch. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>The Commissary\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003ca href=\"https://www.google.com/maps/place/The+Commissary/@37.7999169,-122.4618155,17z/data=!3m1!4b1!4m5!3m4!1s0x808586d8493b6229:0x7a6eae732e2711!8m2!3d37.7999169!4d-122.4596268\">101 Montgomery St. \u003c/a>\u003c/span>\u003cbr>\nSan Francisco\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_133994\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-medium wp-image-133994\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2019/06/19A0706-800x525.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"525\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2019/06/19A0706-800x525.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2019/06/19A0706-160x105.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2019/06/19A0706-768x504.jpg 768w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2019/06/19A0706-1020x670.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2019/06/19A0706-1200x788.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Try to get one of the albondigas, some of the bombas rice, and a spring veggie all in one bite! \u003ccite>(Patrick Wong)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">While Traci Des Jardin's beloved Jardiniere has now closed, \u003ca href=\"http://www.thecommissarysf.com/\">The Commissary\u003c/a> thankfully remains, nestled in the Presidio serving a full menu of Spanish-influenced Californian cuisine.

The burger is the culmination of five years of work, a project spearheaded by \u003ca href=\"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Patrick_O._Brown\" target=\"_blank\">Pat Brown\u003c/a>, a former Stanford professor who wanted to figure out a way to combat the \u003ca href=\"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Environmental_impact_of_meat_production\" target=\"_blank\">environmental problems\u003c/a> of meat production. He set out to make a burger that was so realistically meat-like, people wouldn’t care that it was vegetarian. His team deconstructed the components that make meat so tasty, and found meat-free alternatives that give the same effect. The burger combines wheat protein, potato protein, coconut oil, and heme: an iron-rich compound that makes meat taste like meat. It also helps give blood its color.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Impossible Burger is currently only available at a few restaurants in LA, New York and San Francisco. In SF, it’s available at \u003ca href=\"http://cockscombsf.com/\" target=\"_blank\">Cockscomb\u003c/a> for lunch and \u003ca href=\"https://www.jardiniere.com/\" target=\"_blank\">Jardinière\u003c/a> for dinner. (The company’s goal is to eventually make it cheap enough to be sold in grocery stores). On my visit to Cockscomb, there was a palatable excitement for the $19 burger. Most of the tables had ordered the burger, which comes out topped with a jaunty little flag, and the table next to me talked about how they had been following the company from the start. The burger’s looks and texture are spot on: this could be any $20 San Francisco burger. It’s gray in places, pink in others, with crisp caramelized edges. The coconut oil gives it a satisfying juiciness that recalls burger grease. The flavor was savory and salty, but still had a slight tang to it (most likely from the heme, which they extract from yeast).\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_115487\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-full wp-image-115487\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2017/02/IMG_0053.jpg\" alt=\"The caramelized, bloody interior of the Impossible Burger.\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1440\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/02/IMG_0053.jpg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/02/IMG_0053-160x120.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/02/IMG_0053-800x600.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/02/IMG_0053-768x576.jpg 768w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/02/IMG_0053-1020x765.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/02/IMG_0053-1180x885.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/02/IMG_0053-960x720.jpg 960w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/02/IMG_0053-240x180.jpg 240w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/02/IMG_0053-375x281.jpg 375w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/02/IMG_0053-520x390.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">The caramelized, bloody interior of the Impossible Burger. \u003ccite>(Shelby Pope)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>But even with that subtle offness, it’s nearly impossible to tell the difference, especially with a heap of strongly-flavored add-ons, including Dijon, pickles, caramelized onions and Gruyere.

The burger is the culmination of five years of work, a project spearheaded by \u003ca href=\"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Patrick_O._Brown\" target=\"_blank\">Pat Brown\u003c/a>, a former Stanford professor who wanted to figure out a way to combat the \u003ca href=\"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Environmental_impact_of_meat_production\" target=\"_blank\">environmental problems\u003c/a> of meat production. He set out to make a burger that was so realistically meat-like, people wouldn’t care that it was vegetarian. His team deconstructed the components that make meat so tasty, and found meat-free alternatives that give the same effect. The burger combines wheat protein, potato protein, coconut oil, and heme: an iron-rich compound that makes meat taste like meat. It also helps give blood its color.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Impossible Burger is currently only available at a few restaurants in LA, New York and San Francisco. In SF, it’s available at \u003ca href=\"http://cockscombsf.com/\" target=\"_blank\">Cockscomb\u003c/a> for lunch and \u003ca href=\"https://www.jardiniere.com/\" target=\"_blank\">Jardinière\u003c/a> for dinner. (The company’s goal is to eventually make it cheap enough to be sold in grocery stores). On my visit to Cockscomb, there was a palatable excitement for the $19 burger. Most of the tables had ordered the burger, which comes out topped with a jaunty little flag, and the table next to me talked about how they had been following the company from the start. The burger’s looks and texture are spot on: this could be any $20 San Francisco burger. It’s gray in places, pink in others, with crisp caramelized edges. The coconut oil gives it a satisfying juiciness that recalls burger grease. The flavor was savory and salty, but still had a slight tang to it (most likely from the heme, which they extract from yeast).\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_115487\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-full wp-image-115487\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2017/02/IMG_0053.jpg\" alt=\"The caramelized, bloody interior of the Impossible Burger.\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1440\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/02/IMG_0053.jpg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/02/IMG_0053-160x120.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/02/IMG_0053-800x600.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/02/IMG_0053-768x576.jpg 768w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/02/IMG_0053-1020x765.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/02/IMG_0053-1180x885.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/02/IMG_0053-960x720.jpg 960w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/02/IMG_0053-240x180.jpg 240w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/02/IMG_0053-375x281.jpg 375w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/02/IMG_0053-520x390.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">The caramelized, bloody interior of the Impossible Burger. \u003ccite>(Shelby Pope)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>But even with that subtle offness, it’s nearly impossible to tell the difference, especially with a heap of strongly-flavored add-ons, including Dijon, pickles, caramelized onions and Gruyere.

Bill Gates has invested in his start-up, Impossible Foods, which is already supplying burgers to seven high-end restaurants, including the Michelin-starred Public in New York City. Just last week, chef Brad Farmerie put Brown's burger on the menu at Public and a second restaurant where he's executive chef, Saxon + Parole.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Farmerie prepares one for me to sample. In the skillet, the patty looks remarkably similar to ground chuck.

It caramelizes like beef as well.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After a few minutes in the pan, Farmerie nestles the burger in a bun and tops it with a béchamel sauce and truffle paste, then hands it to me to taste. Of course, with the star-chef treatment, it's undeniably delicious and, I can vouch, it's juicy like a real burger. \"I like it a lot — I think it has that nuttiness you get from good beef. I think it has great moisture, great mouthfeel,\" Farmerie says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Farmerie is known for his unusual and fancy meat offerings, like kangaroo and sweetbreads.
