World-class chef rates the best vegan burgers in the UK | On Location

To find out how well the latest vegan burger offering fares from a professional point of view – and if they really do give actual meat a run for its money – we asked chef Marcus Samuelsson to put his tastebuds to task: with his mix of southern American, Ethiopian and Swedish food, Samuelsson knows what makes for a delicious burger. Samuelsson provided the menu for the Obama Administration’s first State dinner, had a three-star restaurant review from The New York Times at the age of 24, and owns a number of restaurants including Red Rooster – in both Harlem, New York, and Shoreditch, London – and, most recently, Marcus in Montreal, Canada. To give each of the seven vegan burgers in our test a fair start, we dressed each pattie with a tofu-based mayonnaise, vegan cheese, a slice of tomato, lettuce and red-onion dressing before topping it off with a vegan brioche bun. The testing took place in Samuelsson's Shoreditch-based restaurant Red Rooster at The Curtain Hotel. Only burgers available to buy in UK shops were eligible (sorry, no Impossible Burger yet). Here's our pick of the best vegan burgers you can buy right now. Read the guide on WIRED UK: https://www.wired.co.uk/article/best-vegan-burger-uk #vegan #veganburger #veganfood

Each and Every - Every Hidden Reference to Future Pixar Movies Explained

Plenty of films and movie franchises hide easter eggs, but Pixar takes it to another level. Pixar's Jonas Rivera reveals all of the secret references to Pixar movies hidden throughout their films. The twist is that all of these references were teasing Pixar movies that weren't even out yet. Since a Pixar movie can take upwards of 6 years to complete, there's plenty of crossover between productions. This creates the perfect opportunity for the studio to leave references in each of their films.

What If... We defunded the police? | What If

While “defund the police” makes for a catchy slogan, the logic behind it is nuanced. Although the slogan was popularised by the George Floyd protests in the US, theorists in the UK have been discussing whether we should reallocate police funds for decades. We spoke to Dr Adam Elliott-Cooper, who says that by reinvesting in youth services, education and training we could eventually get to a point where we don't need the police at all.
