in search of the perfect (vegan) burger.

perfecting the vegan burger has been one of the most difficult kitchen tasks i've taken on.  this, however, is probably my own fault as i may have a tendency to set my expectations too high.  basically i'm looking for a patty that i can mass produce that includes a variety of fresh veggies, seeds, nuts, beans, and a grain; a burger that is delicious on its own and able to take on a variety of seasonings; they need to stay together enough to eventually be grilled; and also hold up to freezing.  i started this process last summer and planned to continue working on it until i had it figured out, but mother nature has been working against me.

the first step of my journey.
