Final weekday of burger week. MIGHT go Sunday to one more, but leaning more towards no. This is a Soy beef sandwich with cheese in the middle of the patty from a Ramen house in Chatt. This one was awesome.

Oh wow! Are those hard to keep?

I've always found them easy... I have one I got in September last year, sits in complete shade and puffed up. I just feed it Mysis once a week.

Refer to my comment above. I realized soon after I made that comment that might get confused with a vegan patty

Phew you were about to worry us all thinking it was fake beef... 😆
Nah this is burger week! Meat only this week (although some places are doing a vegetarian option)
