Looking back

The SD Foodie take

Editorial commentary written from Roger’s original photograph and caption. Roger’s own words are the quoted photo note above.

An open-faced veggie burger with melted cheese and red onion sits beside a bun with tomato and lettuce, a scoop of mashed potatoes with gravy, a pickle and an orange slice.

Getting my herbivore fix, Roger wrote. The plate looks like diner comfort food, just meatless — the kind of vegetarian meal that does not feel like a compromise.

The quick critique

What stood out

  • A melted-cheese veggie patty
  • Mashed potatoes and gravy
  • Diner-style vegetarian comfort

Archive verdict

A vegetarian burger plate that still delivers diner comfort.
