Today Dan and I were watching THE FOOD NETWORK and we saw Bobby Flay making his extreme hamburger. I knew immediately that Dan wanted a burger for dinner.... so I made him a RAW VEGAN version. Dan did tell me that he wanted to eat vegan as much as possible outside of work... let the games begin!

Dan and I garnished our burgers with sliced vine-ripe tomato, Avocado and Basil. I also placed each burger on a bed of dressed Baby Arugula and a square of Purple Cabbage.
Although I appreciated how genuinely excited Dan was to try the burger I did give him FAIR WARNING that it does not taste ANYTHING like a beef burger.... or any meat for that matter. He did however enjoy it!...I choose to believe that he is being honest.
Hugh was very disappointed that he could not taste them...
