What to Expect
The Beyond Meat Burger was designed to "look, cook and satisfy like beef". And it does. Once cooked, these patties look exactly like a perfect medium rare beef burger. Not only does it look the same, but it also tastes the same. This might not be preference to all vegans and vegetarians. But for those starting out or who really miss that meaty taste, this is the ultimate vegan burger. The only difference between the Beyond Burger and the real thing, is that the Beyond is ever so slightly softer and more tender - the way a meat burger should be, but rarely is. For those keen to try out this burger for themselves, here are a few places now offering it.
Hudsons The Burger Joint
This burger joint has become a fast favourite among vegans for the fantastic burger choices. Their Beyond Meat offering, The Houdini, comes with mounds of vegan mozzarella, vegan bacon, lettuce, tomatoes, pickles and mustard. You can also substitute any of the other patties with a Beyond Meat Burger for just R35.
Woolworths Cafe
This grocery store cafe have also started crafting their own Beyond Meat creations. Served on a brioche bun with cheese and mayo, this burger is definitely not vegan. However, it is still a good choice for vegetarians and meat eaters wanting to try out the Beyond Burger.
Kaylee's Eatery
Kaylee's Eatery offers two Beyond Meat options. The regular burger comes with fresh lettuce, crisp red onion slices and juicy tomatoes loaded onto a soft bun. The Beyond Cheese Burger features those same ingredients finished off with velvety vegan cheese.
The Fussy Vegan
The Fussy Vegan is well known for having what is possibly the best Rib Burger in Joburg. But they also have a pretty good Beyond Meat Burger. Available in both gluten and gluten-free options, these burgers come with a perfectly cooked patty, melted cheese, fresh tomato and a crown of lettuce.
Food Lover's Market Café
Food Lover's Market Café serves up the Beyond Meat Burger at two of their branches, Stoneridge Shopping Centre in Edenvale and Sunward Park Lifestyle Centre in Boksburg. The burger patty comes on a fresh white bun with a crunch of lettuce, finely sliced tomato, vinegar-infused pickles, a bite of onion and creamy mayonnaise, served with a side salad or spiced golden chips.
Asher's Farm Sanctuary
The onsite eatery at this sanctuary offers a great burger. Served on a crusty bun, piled with lettuce, tomato, onion, optional vegan cheese, tangy sauce and the infamous patty. What makes this burger worth the drive to Pretoria is the grilled pickles. These add a deliciously acidic note to the rest of the rich burger.
Jackson's Real Food Market
Jackson's serves up their take of the ultimate vegan burger on a vegan bun with cheese, gherkins, red onion, lettuce, rocket, tomato and mayo, with a side of chips fried in olive oil. We recommend finishing this off with a dirty vegan chai latte made with your choice of soya, almond, coconut or macadamia milk.

Many can complain about tons of things these days, the prices of food going up, the prices of petrol going up. I mean there are endless things to complain about but if there's one thing I do know, when it comes to food - everyone has been taken aback by all the changes that are being made to food. Processed food, unnecessary additives, brine and more so there is nothing better to give you peace of mind than Fresh Produce Spots.
One thing that is a complaining factor when it comes to food is that food has become almost toxic to our health, but we have to eat right. To starve to death or eat the unhealthy stuff? Not really much of a choice, however you can choose to make better and wiser decisions.
Changes...Change Is Good Right?
Many people are going organic and even some growing their own foods or are trying to find better ways to approach their eating habits by buying better foods. Yes! Eating the unhealthy stuff is quite yummy, but the best step to take would be buying fresh produce.
Let's check out some cool places that you can visit to buy amazing fresh foods...
Jackson's Real Food Market
Ever been to a food market in America? Well! if you haven't, Jackson's Real Food Market is the epitome of what the look and feel of the stores in the US go for.
The market is situated in two areas in Johannesburg, which include Kyalami and Bryanston so you have more options, or better yet - order online. They have an option to buy your groceries online, however there is a perk to visiting their store - they have an amazing eatery with the best menu. Their super generous menu really makes it very difficult to choose what you want.
Freshly Grown
Freshly Grown is a unique concept that allows you to buy a select box of fresh fruits and vegetables online.
The online stores is open on Monday and closes on Tuesday at 12:00 so you can make it your to do list for Monday. You get to choose a variety from their colour box, salad box, veges for 2 and even 4. It's a really cool concept!
They also have meat options and may I add that they also have the South African favourite, biltong. Can I get a yay! Freshly Grown also has bakery goods, some pantry items, fresh herbs - you can check out their options on their page.
Bryanston Organic & Natural Market
If you are more of an alternative route type of person then the Bryanston Organic & Natural Market is the place too buy your stack of fresh goods.
They have really cool stalls with fresh foods situated in a market that has become one of Joburg's favourite so if you want to hit two birds with one store, this is the place to do it. You can find anything from fruits, vegetables, chopped relishes and spice - it's quite a mix. Definitely a fresh produce spot you should know.
Now, let's explore, switch things up, make better choices and be inspired to cook, chop and get creative with the idea of making good food.
