South Beach Burger Bash: What Were You Thinking, Ubuntu?

Ubuntu’s vegan apple/sauerkraut/caraway burgers

Leave it to the Bay Area to bring a vegan burger to a national burger competition. Could we be any more of a stereotype of ourselves? One big forehead slap is in order here.

Fact is, Ubuntu’s apple, sauerkraut, and caraway offering sounds like it might be good — Carolina said she liked it well enough — but dang, that is not what you pit against the likes of Anthos’ sauce-monster and Shake Shack cheese-covered mushroom thing. This is like riding a bicycle in a drag race.

Maybe we’re just being jealous, though, because we didn’t get to go. MenuPages: South Florida editor Carolina Bolado did, though, and her coverage — plus a bunch more photos — can be seen on our sibling site Grub Street.
