Our thoughts going in:

Chelsea: I was so pumped. I haven't eaten meat in eight years, and while I can find a substitute for hot dogs (they are both highly processed, veggie or not, so it's probably simpler), I haven't had something that actually satiates that primal appetite the way a burger does. Some vegetarians are like, "Meat is gross, why would I want to replicate that?" I do not understand those people. I didn't become a vegetarian because I hated the taste of meat. I become a vegetarian because I don't like where it comes from. And honestly, the only thing that I sometimes miss is a nice, juicy piece of meat. And yes, that juicy means "bloody." So sue me.

Joanna: I eat meat, so my last real-meat burger was maybe a month ago. The idea of a "juicy" veggie burger was a little weird to me. I know it's made out of vegetables, and I've never been one to seek out wet, juicy vegetables.
