Every so often my dining companion and I will deviate off the culinary beaten path and try something …different. Such was the case when we went “incog-meat-o” (meaning meatless) and tried a vegan-based cuisine at Earth Burger Veggie Burger Stand.
Earth Burger — a relative newcomer in the food industry — was established just eight years ago by vegetarian pioneers in San Antonio, who created Green Vegetarian Cuisine. Their "big boom" idea was for Earth Burger to be one of the nation's first plant-based drive-thru offering a healthier, lower calorie take on fast food for those on the go.
On the day of our visit, I chose the Chik-N sandwich which was a crispy breaded Chik-N fillet on a hamburger bun with lettuce, tomatoes, onions and mayo. You also have a choice between buffalo sauce or Gochujang sauce. Everyone should be familiar with what Buffalo Sauce tastes like, but Gochujang is a savory, sweet, and spicy fermented condiment popular in Korean cooking. It is made from gochu-garu, glutinous rice, meju powder, yeotgireum, and salt. The sweetness comes from the starch of cooked glutinous rice, cultured with saccharifying enzymes during the fermentation process.
