Impossible Foods Meat-Free Burger
Anytime you put meat-free and burger in the same sentence, people are going to be skeptical. Silicon Valley startup Impossible Foods is trying to sway that opinion with their plant-based substitute. By ditching the cows, these burgers use 95% less land, 74% less water, emit 87% less greenhouse gases and are free from hormones and antibiotics. Although it sounds too good to be true, these patties are just as juicy as the real thing. They're now available at Manhattan's Momofuku, and to demonstrate just how worthy these burgers are, the restaurants founder chef David Chang, executive chef Matt Rudofker, and CEO and founder of Impossible Foods Pat O. Brown get in the kitchen and cook one up right before your eyes.

Jack Archer Jetsetter Tech Pants
Long gone are the days of stiff, wrinkled chinos. Modern pants are cut from a different (better) cloth, and Jack Archer's Jetsetter Tech Pants are a prime example. Crafted from premium Rebound fabric sourced from Japan, they're stretchy, wrinkle-free, anti-odor, and stain-resistant, making them great for travel. The fit provides room where it's needed but is slim where it's not, and is enhanced by a diamond-shaped gusset that prevents tightness in the crotch and the curved-waist design that provides a lift to the backside. Built with premium stitching, they also feature a zippered coin pocket and hidden reflective tape that's only revealed when they're cuffed. Now available in two cuts: the original, best-selling Slim Fit and the new Straight Fit, which offer a roomier fit from the knee down.
