If you think that vegan burgers can’t rival meat-based ones, think again. Atlanta-based chain Slutty Vegan’s One Night Stand Burger puts the argument to rest with this loaded burger. It’s topped with all the fixings, including caramelized red onion, vegan bacon, melty vegan cheese, and a smoky chipotle-lime mayonnaise. Serve the burger with homemade french fries—whether deep fried or oven-baked—and follow up with any number of vegan desserts. May we suggest brownies or chocolate n’ice cream?
