Whose excited to try the Beyond Burger?!?! Watch Cooley try Burger King's Impossible Whopper a few months back th-cam.com/video/ng4C2HMH664/w-d-xo.html
The burger contains a assortment of mixture of fruits, vegetables, and minerals in it. If you worked at a Tim Hortons and serves it you have access to the ingredients list. So people allergic to a variety of fruits or vegetables wouldn't want this.
This comment should be towards those people who think that getting a degree will get them to their dream. Unless working for others is your dream. By the way, things like this are awesome and of course people created it BUT too bad something this awesome is made by people on a wage while the owner enjoys the big money.

Amazing! Everybody already loves the first version, I am excited to try the second one! I’m grateful for this company making delicious, nutritious food that is eco-friendly, no cholesterol, and millions of cows won’t have to be bred and killed for a burger that tastes as good as the traditional one.
@@oldhickory3423 You don't need cholesterol in your diet. You do need it to survive, but even if you consume zero cholesterol, your body makes the amount that you need on its own.
These burgers, the unformed version, patties and sausages are amazing, the second release of the patties is great., I was thrilled about the first version but the second is just awesome. We used to be meat eaters until we were 50 and 55. We completely stopped eating meat all ant once after one of us had an illness. We never cheated but always missed two things. One was a juicy burger, the other was Italian sausage. This company has solved both issues for us! Never were big steak eaters. We love breakfast sausage too but Morningstar patties are great for that so we are feeling like our bases are covered. Now if they can reproduce bacon, that would be icing on the cake LOL! We still eat regular veggie burgers too but this product has really allowed us to enjoy the ground meats we loved. The ground Beyond Meat that is not pre-formed is just as good and great for many recipes ground beef is used for like tacos, Shepherds Pie, burritos, nachos, spaghetti, meatballs. The list of uses for the unformed product is very long. Thank you For Beyond Meat. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

As a vegetarian of over 13 years, I'm a huge fan of the Beyond Burger and the Impossible Burger. However, if I had to pick a winner, I'd choose the Impossible. It seems to cook up a bit crispier on the outside and I really like that. That being said, they are both very delicious.
I agree. The Impossible seemed to be much more realistic. However Impossible Foods did animal testing and isn't sold in stores yet so right now I prefer to eat Beyond burgers.
@@c0pyimitati0n They tested one of its burgers ingredients, Soy Leghemoglobin, but feeding it to 188 rats, and killed all of them when they were finished. It sucks but it's still a pretty minuscule number considering just how many impossible burgers are sold.
@rihardo123 i think eating animals is way more awkward when you are given the choice... like yeah i prefer to kill animals. And let me tell you i eat meat too, but it just feels wrong.
@@jasonrandom yea i really dont care, we all gonna die one day i wouldnt recommend living without tasting a burger or steak lol having the health benefits would only be a plus but if the taste matches.
@@MrV902 Well I guess if you think eating what tastes good as being normal then you are an example of the problem. When you eat yourself to death who will you call moron then? ;)
@@mannygarcia8222 Its called the Beyond Meat Burger and its a fairly new product. I don't recall having any black bean burger in the past. Try it at A&W at least once. Best tasting burger I've had in ages.
Being a vegetarian I tried the beyond meat burger. I would say the aloo patty burgers available in India taste way better than beyond meat. Probably it's not for vegetarians but meat eating people.
Noticed Beyond Meat claims the "colouring they add to their patty is all natural". But that's just the colouring part. Natural doesn't always mean it is good for you. Some flowers may contain poison and humans don't generally eat flowers. No mention of the amount of preservatives, flavourings and other stabilisers that will be added to the final burger? They also didn't show you the entire process of making it. Conveniently kept a trade secret? Like how did the paste even look before all the added ingredients and step by step how does it transform into a meat-like patty. How crafty, selling it in a fast food restaurant, knowing who really reads the ingredients and nutritional value of the patty when they order a burger anyway. Food for thought.
No i haven’t watched the whole video but any product that can decrease factory farming or C02 gasses that doesn’t directly correlate to murder is going to get my approval 99.9% of the time.
you should buy a box of Beyond Burgers, 10 lbs for $80 ($2 a burger), cook them up, cut them up into 1/8th (25 cents per portion) and walk around asking meat eaters to do a taste test and then after you have their attention ask the question: Should we eat animals if we can get all our amino acids from these delicious Beyond Burgers? and when they argue that they have twice as much salt as meat remind them that they have less sodium than the Ketchup they put on their burger you have to eat ten Beyond Burgers in a day to exceed your RDA of sodium Potassium balances Sodium intake so the more plants that have Potassium, the more of your Sodium budget you can afford to eat Beyond Burgers are the healthiest and most delicious and no animal has to die
We meat eaters know this already. We don't go around thinking burgers grow on trees or even care about sodium content or that animals die in order to feed us. We wouldn't be eating meat if we did. Eating meat isn't about ignorance. Vegetarians and vegans aren't more enlightened. We know what's in our burgers and we don't care about animals being farmed and killed for food because it's delicious. It's really that simple. And no, I wouldn't eat the Beyond Burger even if it tasted exactly like real meat because my meat is cheap and my wallet being empty hurts me more than cows being butchered.
@@CriticalRoleHighlights I agree with you that meat eaters care about money not the moral considerations of animals as we see evidence from chinese dog festivals, Japanese dolphin slaughters, and American pitbulls fighting. They need to bring down the cost of these delicious burgers and save people money
Thanks for the video. The other day I had a Carl's Junior Beyond Meat Famous Star burger. It was actually pretty good. The only problem I had was that it cost a little more than a traditional burger but that should go down over time. Over all a lot better than any other meatless burger I have had in the past.
I had both the version 1 and 2 and i can say that version 2 look more like a meat and taste like a meat, version one have bitter after taste while version 2 almost had no after taste, it taste like meat all the way.
the big ones should learn from TH-camrs. If I click on a 10 minutes video to see the new burger patty it’s not enough to show it just for a few seconds while the camera man is sitting on a rollercoaster

Glad to see that my ‘dream’ is becoming real and it far supersedes my previous notion for a ‘beyond animals company.’ Really hope this company succeeds in making a cheaper identical(or even better) alternative to animal meats.
Guys, I went to my neighborhood Publix and got me the Beyond Beef package with the 2 patties. Waited 24 hours as instructed letting them thaw in my refrigerator; cook them and put them in a plate. DO NOT, I REPEAT DO NOT! have the patty by itself; LOOKS / CHEW like meat. The taste first bite MAYBE the rest NO WAY. NOW, do the buns, lettuce, tomato, red onions, mayo, mustard and ketchup and its eatable of course with all that stuff a turd will pass the test! Being serious Great For Vegetarians pretending to eat meat.
The 1.0 tasted to me what I imagine cat food tastes like bit in a subtle way. I'm being serious. My cat's food smells like what the Beyond Burger 1.0 meat somewhat tasted like. In my paranoid mind, I literally thought that they were taking cat food and branding it this way to make you think it's something amazingly new and innovative. I'm absolutely wrong though. I can't wait to try the 2.0 and see how they improved it. I meant that all in the nicest way possible. 😅
@@littlemissink I was so mad when I tried it not because it didn't taste like meat because it tasted literally like a cheap version of AnW meat patty like a frozen Angus hamburger patty in the frozen boxes at Walmart. So yeah it for sure tastes like meat
@@kronogatez5995 try and get one that hasn't been frozen, they sometimes sell them by the meat burgers instead of the freezer case, and cook it on a charcoal grill. Serve it on a pretzel bun and omg it's absolutely amazing. I personally like it fried in the cast iron skillet too. I can overlook the smell when it tastes as good as it does.
I have literally just tried a Beyond Burger and i was absolutely stumped. I could not tell the difference to a genuine beef burger. The texture was spot on, the taste was a bit less beefy than the real thing but good enough, and the look was very deceiving. I'd be interested to know the carbon footprint of the Beyond Burger though. Other than that I'd gladly replace my beef burger with the Beyond Burger, just not my steak yet
I bought the $12/lb burgers to try them out. The smell will drive you out of the room. The big lie here is that you can fry these things. Think burned peas. In duplicating the look and texture of ground beef they have done a good job. I suggest boiling them only, which makes sense, because its a vegetable.
It sounded like the host preferred the 1.0 burger to the 2.0 burger in the blind taste test at the end. When he was asked which he preferred, he immediately brought up the 1.0 burger and how it's greasier.
Not as good as they show. Don’t waste your time. From trying at a restaurant to doing it at home, same results. You can tell a difference and the texture is mushy
I like them - they don't taste exactly like meat but I've fooled a couple people into thinking it was meat cus it's pretty damn close to the real thing. I didn't tell them before I gave them the burgers, they said the burgers tasted great, and then I told them it was actually beyond meat. Great reactions all around haha and now we'll have it about once every week or two as a substitute for burger patties.
Taste and texture at a medium rare to medium temperature is what's important to me for a beef burger substitute, since visually it'll be mostly hidden by the bun, toppings, and condiments.
I love how during the taste test he talks about how it’s rustic and somehow gets to talking about how this place is a tech company? Obviously it didn’t taste good cuz he couldn’t say anything bad about while eating it right in front of the lab technicians. If it was good he woulda said so
I tried one tonight. I have an average mostly healthy American diet. I eat a cheeseburger two or three times a month. Beyond Burger tasted BETTER than a ~75% lean beef burger. I think salt plays a large role in bringing out the flavors of the “beef”. It tastes great, it was juicy, and the bite was excellent. The meat feels a little pillowy, but it kinda works.
Edited: This would be an excellent choice for those new to plant based diets. As a 47 year vegetarian I had my first Beyond Meat burger today. It was very chewy. I almost gagged on the smell of the uncooked burger because it reminded me of the smell of meat (in my very vague memories - I'm 70 now). Perhaps from eating other vegemeats for so long, I tend to prefer them. I don't want my protein "meat" to closely resemble and taste like meat. Though if I had it 47 years ago, I would probably have accepted it and still be eating it. I like Morningstar grillers, sausage, vegebacon, chick patties, Trader Joe's chorizo, as well as Worthington/Loma Linda vege chicken. (I make vege chicken pies from the Worthington/Loma Linda Fry Chic.) My husband and I only eat vegemeats a couple of times a week.
We are going to taste it for the first time next Sunday! Real BBQ for us! :D Really curious about it! Let's see what it's going to taste! Our greetings from Italy!
@@stefanx8344 we tried It... We could eat It but we didn't line that much. Everybody says It tastes line Meat but we don't think so. Or maybe not in Italy. It Is too salty for what we are used to. But we Hope a lot of people Will like It instead of Meat, anyway 😋 our greetings from Italy
@@CorsidiCucinaVegan thank you for your reply. I am a vegetarian myself and was very disappointed in the taste! I am not biased at all and would love to buy their products but i just dont like the taste. Greetings from the netherlands!
@@stefanx8344 you're right! We are vegans and we would have put this product in our restaurant menu. But the taste is not what our customers look for :( such a bad news!
Meat eaters shouldnt get mad at this. They’re not working to replace the entire meat industry (for all we know), they’re working to supply vegetarians a way to enjoy a burger like the rest of us
I’ve tried it. It was ok. It however was in no way like a beef burger either in taste or texture. They are a healthier option for a meal but if you have a desire for a cheeseburger these patties will not satisfy your craving. Plus the patties will cost you $4 each in the grocery stores.
First of all let me warn you not to cook beyond burgers in your house unless the windows are open. The smell was almost unbearable and the taste was no wear near as good as the impossible burger. IMHO these things taste terrible there expensive 2 for 6.50 at whole foods and look at the list of ingredients its twice as long as impossible burgers The Beyond Burger: pea protein isolate, expeller-pressed canola oil, refined coconut oil, water, yeast extract, maltodextrin, natural flavors, gum arabic, sunflower oil, salt, succinic acid, acetic acid, non-GMO modified food starch, cellulose from bamboo, methylcellulose, potato starch, beet juice extract (for color), ascorbic acid (to maintain color), annatto extract (for color), citrus fruit extract (to maintain quality), vegetable glycerin.
Sounds like "Frankenfood". I cooked up some Beyond Burger Crumbles two days ago. It was horrible gray with a green tinge before cooking. It was like rubber, too chewy. Taste was meh. And I used it in spaghetti sauce and the crumbles did not soak up the seasonings including garlic. I ended up throwing it out. Jmo but I think there are better veggie burgers out there with more flavor, and not rubbery whem you try to chew it. Too much hype, and not cheap either.
Tried a Beyond meat burger for the first time yesterday at A&W just to see what the difference was between beef. It looked like a regular burger, smelt pretty good and that was all i needed to try it. But the taste and texture was probably 50% tops compared to what a real beef burger actually taste's like. I might try it again in the future when they make a beyond meat burger 5.0 or above but till then i'm going to stick with beef because for right now nothing can replace that amazing, mouthwatering, delicious, sexy smelling, texture having beef burgers that I love so damn much. Also just a head's up if anyone decided's to do what I did keep your expectations low otherwise the feeling of regret will be in every bite you take.
@@harryviking6347 He is not????? Animal meat is much more expensive for the climate. Don't forget that the cows don't just grow and give you meat magically.
I just checked, and according to beyond meat, compared to a regular burger, this one costs: 99% less water 46% less energy and rejects 90% less CO2 Do you see why this is better for the climate?
I spent a couple of weeks seeking out and eating Beyond Meat burgers with no intention of comparing it to real meat, just wanted a plant based alternative that tastes good. No matter how I cooked it the stuff tastes like cardboard. I tried eating one at a restaurant and it was the same. Then i tried the Impossible Burger at three different places and it was truly one of the best burgers I've ever eaten. It tastes great.
Personally, I think the v1.0 burger looks more accurate. Of course, I can't afford anything but the cheap meat so maybe that's why my beef isn't grey and marbled with white specks.
Journalist: I liked 241 better. It's greasier. More satisfying. Scientist: 415 is our new Beyond Meat burger 2.0. 241 is the original. Journalist: So you guys are going in the right direction. Scientist: Exactly. We cater to people like you. What? *smh* Badly scripted or edited.
I do care about animal welfare. Unfortunately, I have not been able to live up to my own ideals when it comes to eating meat. With plant-based burgers, it doesn't have to be more delicious or even on-par. This stuff WILL reduce the number of animals being slaughtered for food - and I support it 100%. As long as it is not aweful, I am in.
Cooley it's very good to see you doing other tech vids. A throw back to when you were just starting out at cnet. I totally enjoy your car and check the tech reviews. But I'm an old school cnet fan of the late 90s and early 2k.
Man! I loved this guy in those Toby McGuire Spiderman movies! J.J. Jameson, right? I just bought some of these last night. Going home to cook them up tonight. Just like these, Lettuce, tomato, processed cheese... Got to say though, Dog on standby...
The beef taste/smell of Beyond Meat patties is WAY too strong. It smells good at first, but then it stinks out your house for hours, and your fingers smell strongly of beef for hours after eating a burger with a Beyond Meat patty. I hope the v2 fixes this.
Not sure how or why i have this odor, but the beyond burger odor before and during cooking smells like my sweaty crotch. So, the odor is a turn off for me, and i have to dismiss it while cooking and eating the burger
I cannot wait to try this burger! Not sure when it’s gonna hit the UK market... I know Burger King is bringing it out first, but I still can’t find any dates...

you should buy a box of Beyond Burgers, 10 lbs for $80 ($2 a burger), cook them up, cut them up into 1/8th (25 cents per portion) and walk around asking meat eaters to do a taste test
and then after you have their attention ask the question: Should we eat animals if we can get all our amino acids from these delicious Beyond Burgers?
and when they argue that they have twice as much salt as meat
remind them that they have less sodium than the Ketchup they put on their burger

@@littlemissink I was so mad when I tried it not because it didn't taste like meat because it tasted literally like a cheap version of AnW meat patty like a frozen Angus hamburger patty in the frozen boxes at Walmart. So yeah it for sure tastes like meat
@@kronogatez5995 try and get one that hasn't been frozen, they sometimes sell them by the meat burgers instead of the freezer case, and cook it on a charcoal grill. Serve it on a pretzel bun and omg it's absolutely amazing. I personally like it fried in the cast iron skillet too. I can overlook the smell when it tastes as good as it does.
At least I'm not alone in this. I hope the new one smells and tastes better. I what ma burger. 🤤🍔
I have literally just tried a Beyond Burger and i was absolutely stumped. I could not tell the difference to a genuine beef burger. The texture was spot on, the taste was a bit less beefy than the real thing but good enough, and the look was very deceiving. I'd be interested to know the carbon footprint of the Beyond Burger though. Other than that I'd gladly replace my beef burger with the Beyond Burger, just not my steak yet
I bought the $12/lb burgers to try them out. The smell will drive you out of the room. The big lie here is that you can fry these things. Think burned peas. In duplicating the look and texture of ground beef they have done a good job. I suggest boiling them only, which makes sense, because its a vegetable.
I had one flame grilled it was pretty good. Also, do you mean pan seared. When you say, nowadays that refers to deep fry.
Don’t listen to this man. Smh 🤦🏾♀️pan frying them works. That’s how I cook mine and it always turns out great.
It sounded like the host preferred the 1.0 burger to the 2.0 burger in the blind taste test at the end. When he was asked which he preferred, he immediately brought up the 1.0 burger and how it's greasier.
6:16 Ketchup on the lettuce side -- ARE YOU KIDDING ME?
Man I’m so glad I bought that stock when they went public 🙌🏾🙌🏾
Teaira, First Of My Name shut up
leonxl you angry?
I can't wait to try one
Not as good as they show. Don’t waste your time. From trying at a restaurant to doing it at home, same results. You can tell a difference and the texture is mushy
I like them - they don't taste exactly like meat but I've fooled a couple people into thinking it was meat cus it's pretty damn close to the real thing. I didn't tell them before I gave them the burgers, they said the burgers tasted great, and then I told them it was actually beyond meat. Great reactions all around haha and now we'll have it about once every week or two as a substitute for burger patties.
@@jimcole2648 Red meat can cause colon cancer so I think it's worth it to get used to plant burgers.
Those are some damn young scientists. .
Holy cow ... Brain Cooley is back with CNET .... CNET is back in business ... Can't replace this man ... Loads of love from Indian Brain
Taste and texture at a medium rare to medium temperature is what's important to me for a beef burger substitute, since visually it'll be mostly hidden by the bun, toppings, and condiments.
Actually the 1.0 does have the taste and texture of a med rare burger. Mmmmm
I had their sausage a few days ago for the first time and it was good. Highly recommended.
The Mountain Dew looking like uranium waste gave me a good giggle
Bring Cooley back reviewing cars with full 20 min episodes!!!!! lol
I love how during the taste test he talks about how it’s rustic and somehow gets to talking about how this place is a tech company? Obviously it didn’t taste good cuz he couldn’t say anything bad about while eating it right in front of the lab technicians. If it was good he woulda said so
Would listen to Brian Cooley talk about almost anything tbh 🙂
He's born to be cool
It's in his name ffs
Watched it for Brian Cooley. Was not disappointed.
That's a little high on the dislikes. But why?
It has Cooley in it!
I tried one tonight. I have an average mostly healthy American diet. I eat a cheeseburger two or three times a month. Beyond Burger tasted BETTER than a ~75% lean beef burger. I think salt plays a large role in bringing out the flavors of the “beef”. It tastes great, it was juicy, and the bite was excellent. The meat feels a little pillowy, but it kinda works.
What a fun informational piece! Already a shareholder and long-time BB loving family. Great job CNET!
Edited: This would be an excellent choice for those new to plant based diets. As a 47 year vegetarian I had my first Beyond Meat burger today. It was very chewy. I almost gagged on the smell of the uncooked burger because it reminded me of the smell of meat (in my very vague memories - I'm 70 now). Perhaps from eating other vegemeats for so long, I tend to prefer them. I don't want my protein "meat" to closely resemble and taste like meat. Though if I had it 47 years ago, I would probably have accepted it and still be eating it. I like Morningstar grillers, sausage, vegebacon, chick patties, Trader Joe's chorizo, as well as Worthington/Loma Linda vege chicken. (I make vege chicken pies from the Worthington/Loma Linda Fry Chic.) My husband and I only eat vegemeats a couple of times a week.
1.0 was already so good, cant wait to try the 2.0 ones
We are going to taste it for the first time next Sunday! Real BBQ for us! :D Really curious about it! Let's see what it's going to taste! Our greetings from Italy!
What did you think? I tried it and found it absolutely disgusting! I literally couldnt eat it.
@@stefanx8344 Hi! We are going to taste in a few hours 😆 the smell Is not that "wow", actually... 😂
@@stefanx8344 we tried It... We could eat It but we didn't line that much. Everybody says It tastes line Meat but we don't think so. Or maybe not in Italy. It Is too salty for what we are used to. But we Hope a lot of people Will like It instead of Meat, anyway 😋 our greetings from Italy
@@CorsidiCucinaVegan thank you for your reply. I am a vegetarian myself and was very disappointed in the taste! I am not biased at all and would love to buy their products but i just dont like the taste. Greetings from the netherlands!
@@stefanx8344 you're right! We are vegans and we would have put this product in our restaurant menu. But the taste is not what our customers look for :( such a bad news!
Suppose I had better search “who is Brian Cooley” everyone else seems to know who he is 🤣
I am vegan and could not eat the bleeding burger. The texture and internal color was so close to meat that I couldn’t eat it.
Missed opportunity to say "Let's go beyond the closed doors"
The stuff is delicious!!!! Thank God for it and for the company!
BK needs to license this and sell in India.
"we're not selling products that are made out of your sacred animals, we're just selling products that taste like your sacred animal"
Good to see Brian Cooley again. From car reviews to burger reviews. lol
Cooley #1 u should have ur own TV show
Thank you for for these burgers
If you stick it in a bun with ketchup and relish it tastes OK, but it smells terrible during cooking process. They need to improve the smell.
Meat eaters shouldnt get mad at this. They’re not working to replace the entire meat industry (for all we know), they’re working to supply vegetarians a way to enjoy a burger like the rest of us
Ugly is included at no extra cost
Only real fans would get it
Let's check the tech
I’ve tried it. It was ok. It however was in no way like a beef burger either in taste or texture. They are a healthier option for a meal but if you have a desire for a cheeseburger these patties will not satisfy your craving. Plus the patties will cost you $4 each in the grocery stores.
First of all let me warn you not to cook beyond burgers in your house unless the windows are open. The smell was almost unbearable and the taste was no wear near as good as the impossible burger. IMHO these things taste terrible there expensive 2 for 6.50 at whole foods and look at the list of ingredients its twice as long as impossible burgers
The Beyond Burger: pea protein isolate, expeller-pressed canola oil, refined coconut oil, water, yeast extract, maltodextrin, natural flavors, gum arabic, sunflower oil, salt, succinic acid, acetic acid, non-GMO modified food starch, cellulose from bamboo, methylcellulose, potato starch, beet juice extract (for color), ascorbic acid (to maintain color), annatto extract (for color), citrus fruit extract (to maintain quality), vegetable glycerin.
Sounds like "Frankenfood".
I cooked up some Beyond Burger Crumbles two days ago. It was horrible gray with a green tinge before cooking. It was like rubber, too chewy. Taste was meh.
And I used it in spaghetti sauce and the crumbles did not soak up the seasonings including garlic. I ended up throwing it out.
Jmo but I think there are better veggie burgers out there with more flavor, and not rubbery whem you try to chew it. Too much hype, and not cheap either.
We cook these all the time at my house and love them. No weird smells or anything like what you described. Maybe you got a bad batch.
Lol my mom thinks the same but i love the smell
I've had one at A&W, and it's surprisingly good. They're coming to Burger King as well. Can't wait to try the 2.0 version!
The burger King one is the impossible burger
Hahahahahaha! Rolled up lab coat sleeves!!! First time I have ever seen this in 30 years of lab...
Tried a Beyond meat burger for the first time yesterday at A&W just to see what the difference was between beef. It looked like a regular burger, smelt pretty good and that was all i needed to try it. But the taste and texture was probably 50% tops compared to what a real beef burger actually taste's like. I might try it again in the future when they make a beyond meat burger 5.0 or above but till then i'm going to stick with beef because for right now nothing can replace that amazing, mouthwatering, delicious, sexy smelling, texture having beef burgers that I love so damn much. Also just a head's up if anyone decided's to do what I did keep your expectations low otherwise the feeling of regret will be in every bite you take.
So what's it made of and let's mass produce if possible. This is really a biggie for climate preservation.
You can find the ingredients on the back of it, and they already are producing it quickly, you can go into many stores and buy some
CLIMATE preservation???? Are you an idiot???
harry viking cows eat the products that are grown to make beyond burger but it’s a less efficient process
@@harryviking6347 He is not????? Animal meat is much more expensive for the climate. Don't forget that the cows don't just grow and give you meat magically.
I just checked, and according to beyond meat, compared to a regular burger, this one costs:
99% less water
46% less energy
and rejects 90% less CO2
Do you see why this is better for the climate?
I was almost expecting him to go “let's find out and check the tech” in the intro lol
I hope im not connected to the burger while their updating to firmware 4.0
I spent a couple of weeks seeking out and eating Beyond Meat burgers with no intention of comparing it to real meat, just wanted a plant based alternative that tastes good. No matter how I cooked it the stuff tastes like cardboard. I tried eating one at a restaurant and it was the same. Then i tried the Impossible Burger at three different places and it was truly one of the best burgers I've ever eaten. It tastes great.
i didn’t know these are real- i thought this was a south park thing holy crap
I wish...
Personally, I think the v1.0 burger looks more accurate. Of course, I can't afford anything but the cheap meat so maybe that's why my beef isn't grey and marbled with white specks.
Journalist: I liked 241 better. It's greasier. More satisfying.
Scientist: 415 is our new Beyond Meat burger 2.0. 241 is the original.
Journalist: So you guys are going in the right direction.
Scientist: Exactly. We cater to people like you.
What? *smh* Badly scripted or edited.
I do care about animal welfare. Unfortunately, I have not been able to live up to my own ideals when it comes to eating meat. With plant-based burgers, it doesn't have to be more delicious or even on-par. This stuff WILL reduce the number of animals being slaughtered for food - and I support it 100%. As long as it is not aweful, I am in.
Cooley it's very good to see you doing other tech vids. A throw back to when you were just starting out at cnet. I totally enjoy your car and check the tech reviews. But I'm an old school cnet fan of the late 90s and early 2k.
Man! I loved this guy in those Toby McGuire Spiderman movies! J.J. Jameson, right? I just bought some of these last night. Going home to cook them up tonight. Just like these, Lettuce, tomato, processed cheese... Got to say though, Dog on standby...
But how does it drive Brian?
The beef taste/smell of Beyond Meat patties is WAY too strong. It smells good at first, but then it stinks out your house for hours, and your fingers smell strongly of beef for hours after eating a burger with a Beyond Meat patty. I hope the v2 fixes this.
That's why the Matrix will always be relevant
Loving this. Beyond Meat is spectacular!!
The only way I would eat this is if it was significantly cheaper than ground beef.
You're a beefy boi
Very scientific In look! Thanks
It will never be closest to the real thing until it’s genetically identical to beef.
I clicked this not knowing its cooley and my heart honestly skipped a beat when I saw it was him :')
I just wish I would have invested in them before their shares shot up lol
As a vegan I really wanna see someone review it with plant based cheese
Not sure how or why i have this odor, but the beyond burger odor before and during cooking smells like my sweaty crotch. So, the odor is a turn off for me, and i have to dismiss it while cooking and eating the burger
Waiting for version 3.0 with added chicken
5:32 Special hair net for required exclusively for Cooley's goatee. 🤣
That's a standard beard net. Nothing odd about it
I cannot wait to try this burger! Not sure when it’s gonna hit the UK market... I know Burger King is bringing it out first, but I still can’t find any dates...
I tryed it, it is too over hyped
I honestly wonder if you could take an impossible patty and make tacos out of the raw stuff..
Nancho Party yes you can!
Im a fan of beyond burger I would rank it mcdonalds
I dunno what this guy is selling, but I'm buying.
So this is how the zombie apocalypse starts
Where's my Beyond KFC?
It's already here
Tyson is working on plant based chicken nuggets.
