You still have A&W in Canada? I used to love those joints.
Quite popular in Alberta
They do not have the drive in any more though

The Impossible Whopper is coming to every Burger King in America next week - CNN
While I'm really not much of a fast food fan This is one I'll have to try. Nobody will ever confuse me for being a vegetarian but this is going to require a side by side.
Part of the appeal of the new burgers is their smaller environmental footprint. Beef is the most wasteful food on the planet. Cows are not optimized to make meat; they’re optimized to be cows. It takes 36,000 calories of feed to produce 1,000 calories of beef. In the process, it uses more than 430 gallons of water and 1,500 square feet of land, and it generates nearly ten kilograms of greenhouse-gas emissions. In comparison, an Impossible Burger uses 87 percent less water, 96 percent less land, and produces 89 percent fewer greenhouse-gas emissions. Beyond Meat’s footprint is similarly svelte.
Yes, a good argument can be made that small-farm, grass-fed beef production (in places that can grow abundant grass) has a very different ethical and environmental landscape, but unfortunately, that’s just not a significant factor. America gets 97 percent of its beef from feedlots. And feedlots are irredeemable.
The drive thru @ Dunkin‘ Donuts should be outlawed! Waddle your fat ass in there and get your donuts!
A great article about this yesterday. This Is the Beginning of the End of the Beef Industry | Outside Online
Awesome. I love the impossible burger, and I haven't eaten beef or pork in 35 or so years.
There is a bar by my house that does an amazing impossible wineburger, add some avocado, swiss cheese and it is heaven. I've given tastes of the impossible burger to my red meat eating friends and they all love it, its that good.

I'll give it a shot.
I'll be pissed off if it turns me into a pinko, commie, tree hugging liberal but I've got a buddy with orders to stuff me with 3# of bacon if it looks like that's happening. It's supposed to be a sure fire antidote.
I hear it is not really better for you but taste is subjective. If you like the taste and dont mind the chemicals then eat it. I will skip it for now
Yeah, but you are eating beef that is loaded with anti-biotics and run the risk of e-coli, etc.
I'll take soy protein any day!
Tacos at A&W?
Y'know, having grown up in upstate NY around that time I don't recall ever seeing a taco and damned sure not at an A&W. If someone in NY was speaking Spanish back then it's because they were Puerto Rican.
Hmm...this is giving me an idea for a mofongo taco.
