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
