CLEVELAND, Ohio -- If it looks like a hamburger, cooks like a hamburger and tastes like a hamburger, it must be a hamburger, right?

Not necessarily.

It's called the Impossible Burger and it's now being offered at Cleveland celebrity chef Michael Symon's B Spot chain of restaurants. The burger uses no meat. Instead, it's made with wheat, coconut oil, potatoes and a special ingredient, heme -- a bloodlike compound that gives meat its smell, sizzle and taste.

"[It's] truly most amazing product I have seen in a decade," Symon says in a Facebook post.

Today is the day...exclusively @bspotburgers in the Midwest ... impossible burgers ..plant based burgers that look, eat,... Posted by Michael D. Symon on Monday, September 18, 2017

The Impossible Burger has been available since last year at places like Umami Burger in California, but B Spot is the first restaurant in the Midwest to serve it. The burger is available two ways: "Thin Lizzy" style with griddled onions, mayo, dill pickles and cheddar cheese for $9.99 or a build-your-own option that starts at $6.99.

"What I love about Impossible Burger is that it's not an imposter burger," Symon says in a video promoting the product's launch. "You're taking something that is classic Americana and you're taking the beef out of it.

"So, for a carnivore like me, there's going to be a little of skepticism there. But as soon as you take a bite out of it, it has texture, it has mouthfeel."

Impossible Foods, the Silicon Valley startup behind the burger, says its plant-based burger uses 74 percent less water, 95 percent less land and 87 percent less greenhouse gases when compared to a beef-based burger.

But how does it taste?

On Twitter, early reviews have been positive. "The Impossible Burger was really really good though," user @elpoppunk wrote. "It's defo yummy and worth a try," chef Mario Batali, Symon's co-host on "The View," wrote.
