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.

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.
