(burps)

- Sorry.

- Put together.

- (laughing) Sorry.

- Veggie burgers, veggie burgers, (cheering)

- Feast mode hunger squad, we're going to be traveling

all over Los Angeles today.

- And our mission today is to find

the best veggie burger in L.A.

- We're going to play Veggie Burger Telephone.

- And what happens is we go to one restaurant,

we try the veggie burger.

- And then ask them where they would go

if they weren't eating their own veggie burger.

- And then we're going to keep going on,

and on and on until we find...

- The best one in L.A.

- For me, as a vegetarian, it's pretty hard to find

a good veggie burger.

- I don't think I've ever actually eaten a veggie burger,

so this will be interesting.

I'm a big meat fan.

I don't care what's in a burger,

as long as it tastes good I'm down for that.

- I need a few more spots to eat veggie burgers at

because most of the ladies in Los Angeles are vegan,

as we all know.

- I am a vegetarian, I am a vegetarian.

- We are on our way right now to Cafe Gratitude.

We gotta make up a rubric here.

What makes a good veggie burger?

- Oh, okay first it's not too mushy.

It's not real meat, it can't be mushy, firmness.

Flavor, obviously.

Presentation.

- I'm always worried with the veggie burger

that I'm not going have a full meal.

- Let's do it, let's do it.

Oh, God I'm so hungry and I'm stuck, oh sweet Jesus.

So, this is our first stop for veggie burgers.

Tell us about Cafe Gratitude.

- We're all all-organic, all-vegan establishment.

We are just kind of a casual, fun place where you can

bring anyone from your dog to your grandma.

You're going to be having the I Am Magical,

which is our double cheeseburger with our black bean

and mushroom and all sorts of spices in the patties.

- Will it make me full?

- Oh, it will definitely make you full.

I like to refer to it as the Boyfriend Burger.

- [Colin] First off, this burger looks pretty neat.

- Patties are maybe a quarter of an inch thick.

I'm gonna give it a four on presentation.

- [Colin] You know, there's always room for growth.

- [Mallory] I like the texture a lot.

- Tastes like a salad.

- Mine is falling apart.

- Steven's eating like a child.

- This is not firm.

- Firmness is a three for me.

- The flavors are good, though.

- A whole sprig of rosemary in there, it's good.

- Flavor, I'll give it a four.

- Bonus, this would fill me up.

- Uh, I don't know.

- How much do you eat?

I would give it a four.

- One thing I do know about this sandwich is

it is nutritious AF.

- [Steven] Look at Colin trying to fit in

with the kids, these days.

- I think we are eternally grateful to Cafe Gratitude.

But it is time to move on.

- If you weren't going to eat a veggie burger here,

where would you go next?

- My go-to is probably Sun Cafe in Studio City.

- It's my turn to drive,

and I'm going to take us to the Valley.

- [Colin] Jordan's from Boston.

I know how people from Boston drive.

- I'm a perfect driver.

- Vegetarians on average fart like 10 times more

than meat eaters.

- [Jordan] Beans, beans, are good for your heart,

the more you eat, the more you fart.

- [Steven] Hey, don't run over that girl.

- [Jordan] Steven.

I will (bleep) kill you.

So, Cafe Gratitude sent us here to try your veggie burgers.

But first you want to just tell us a little bit

about the restaurant?

- We make all our own cheese from scratch

out of seeds and nuts so everything's super fresh.

We have our traditional one which is our raw burger.

Then we also have a new one that we just introduced

which is a marinated tempeh burger.

- I've never had tempeh,

so I don't know what I'm about to eat.

- I freaking love tempeh.

- Cheers, we're going, we're going, we're going.

- [Jordan] That's interesting.

- Smooth consistency, nice and firm.

Whatever it is, this is a soy product

and it's a delicious one.

- Are you a tempeh fan?

- I don't know.

- It's like a pretty good burger,

but it feels more like a sandwich.

All right, let's move onto the raw,

which I'm super stoked about.

- [Jordan] That's really good.

- What's this creamy sauce on the bottom?

- It's got kind of a meaty flavor to it,

which is interesting.

- [Mallory] Did you bring your own napkin?

- [Jordan] You know they gave you napkins.

- I did.

(laughter)

- It is firm.

- Yeah.

- Firmess, five.

Fullness, five.

Presentation, five.

Flavor, five.

- You're too generous, you're like Oprah.

I would say it's a 4.5.

Whoa, actually no, now on second thought it's a five.

It definitely holds together.

- Yeah, it moves like a burger.

- There's a lot of flavors to work through,

but like all really great flavors.

- Overall, I would bring a date here.

Not this one, but a date.

- I'm legit so full right now.

Like, I don't know how I'm going to do another restaurant.

- If you weren't going to eat a veggie burger here,

where would you go to eat a veggie burger?

- I've heard some good things about Beachwood Cafe.

- It's gonna be hard to top this place.

- Seriously.

- But it's time to go to Beachwood.

(Colin yawning)

- Ah, dag it.

- [Steven] Honestly, I don't know what this place can do

that could be better than Sun Cafe.

- This spot is definitely like classic veggie diner.

- What we're gonna do is we want to order

veggie burgers for us.

You guys have them here?

- Yes, we make our own veggie burgers here.

(laughter)

- [Steven] This is what I expect

a veggie burger to look like.

- It smells really good.

- [Colin] I would say it's like very classic American fare.

- [Mallory] This is the only burger that was open face.

- But open face is better.

- Yeah, presentation.

- You can wait for it to be fresh until you actually eat it.

- [Mallory] I'm going to go four on presentation.

Do we want to spread the avocado, maybe?

- Where's the brown rice?

Oh, it's in the patty.

- [Mallory] It's in the patty, all right here we go.

- Hm, good patty.

- It's um, chewy.

- It's like a three.

- I like 2.5.

This is not as firm as I would have wanted it to be.

- This will fill me up, this is a full meal.

- I'm gonna say five on fullness because it's just like

a patty and rice.

- I like the flavor, it gives you like a home feeling,

like a warm feeling.

- It's like the inside of a Chipotle burrito bowl.

- It didn't blow my mind.

- I'm going three on flavor.

- I've got a food baby AF.

- (bleep) finish it.

- My favorite burger was the raw burger at Sun Cafe.

- We ate a lot of good burgers,

but that one was off the charts good.

- I'm glad that we found places where I can go

and also bring a vegetarian.

- After today, I think I'm less skeptical of veggie burgers.

- I think I've added a few more pretty choice

date spots to my repetoire.

- For sure.

- Feast mode fam, whoo.

- They're going to have good poops tonight.

We're all going to have it really easy peasy.

The fiber just like makes it just go (vocal sound effects).

- [Jordan] If we all ate a lot of fiber we'd have easy.

- Do you squash (bleep)?
