Taste's Delicious House Salad

When one of my clients mentioned her favorite Hamden/North Haven eatery was Taste Restaurant and Lounge and that they had a Veggie Burger on the menu I knew I needed to try it! Taste has a black bean and corn veggie burger that is perfect! It’s not overly spicy as most black bean burgers are. It comes with oven dried tomatoes, greens of your choice ( I chose the field greens) and served on a toasted english muffin with hand cut fries seasoned with fresh parsley or smoked fries. I have also tried their unbelievably tasty house salad( which I usually don’t favor salads-even though non-vegans think that’s all I eat) the house salad comes with arugula, fennel, tomatoes and radicchio, I always request olive oil & balsamic vinegar because you never know what’s in the “dressing”. Wow were my vegan taste buds happy! I had exceptional service and the owner personally came to our table to make sure we were happy with our meals! I would definitely recommend their veggie burger (minis the cheese and mayo) and a lovely glass of wine for your next date night, girls night or just because you are hungry!!! The chef /owner is Jason Ruocco and he will cater to Vegans and special diets and he might even pop out to see you enjoying your meal!

Knuckleheads’ Veggie Burger

Joan Landino's Overwhelmingly Fond Of Knuckleheads Veggie BurgerKnuckleheads’ Veggie BurgerKnuckleheads' Veggie Burger

Saturday night we decided that we NEEDED a veggie burger so we headed over to Knuckleheads on 80 Center Street, Wallingford CT. We have tried veggie burgers from all over the country but nothing compares to the delicious concoction that the cooks there have come up with. First off, you know this place is amazing when you can see a line waiting out the door before you even walk in. Needless to say, we were very happy that we ordered take-out. There are so many different kinds of burgers to choose from and each one can be substituted for a veggie burger. Our personal favorites are the Brie and the BBQ burger, although even a plain one is fantastic. What makes the veggie burger stand out from others is the consistency of the burger itself. Unlike other burgers made of vegetables, it does not have a chunky texture. Instead, the outside is perfectly grilled and crispy while the inside is so soft and flavorful that your teeth sink right through it. Regardless of which toppings you choose, this burger would even make the biggest carnivore’s mouth water. Don’t miss out on this great treat! Come early, tables are always packed!
