Launching ahead of Labor Day weekend, the Beyond Brat is served in the traditional Chicago-brat-style with grilled onions, spicy brown mustard, on a brioche bun. On Monday, August 26, Epic Burger will officially launch the Beyond Sausage™ Bratwurst or “Beyond Brat,” a plant-based sausage from Beyond Meat®. The Beyond Brat emulates the real taste of a traditional bratwurst. It's essentially a thousand island-type dressing, with a few extra spices thrown in.Epic Burger, is bringing something new to the game with the debut of their first ever non-burger, that also happens to be plant-based. I had to see what all of the fuss was about with the Epic Sauce, so I dipped my fries in for a taste. I liked the thickness of the fries but felt they needed a little something extra. The fries at Epic Burger are cut in-house daily, helping give them a fresh, not soggy, texture. You could actually tell it was formed out of real meat, not some cookie cutter slab of mystery meat. This wasn't your typical Micky D's patty. Despite the generous portion of toppings on my burger (pickles, LTO, cheese, Epic Sauce), I could still taste the hearty beef patties. As soon as I took a bite, I could taste a difference. The beef patties are made from pure angus which is never frozen, contains no antibiotics, and is from cows that have been humanely raised. To make my meal complete I tried a side of fries with Epic sauce for dipping, and a skinny peanut butter shake (I had to cut calories somewhere!). I decided to stray a bit from the burger that won Best in Chow, opting for a single burger on a wheat bun, topped with Wisconsin cheddar and grilled onions. I arrived just before the Friday lunch rush to get a taste of these mindful burgers. Being more mindful about what you're serving to people is key and people can really taste the difference."Ĭould people taste the difference? I stopped by Epic Burger's River North location to find out for myself. The show's host even exclaimed, " If this is what all-natural tastes like then slap me in the face and call me a hippie." Epic Burger's Founder, David Friedman, explained its burgers are the best because of "the all-natural beef and fresh ingredients. It beat out burgers from Butcher & the Burger and Rockit Burger Bar to be crowned Best in Chow's Burger Wars champion. Though, you can get creative by making your burger a double, or adding fresh avocado, or Wisconsin cheese.Įarlier this year, Epic Burger won Cooking Channel's Best in Chow episode when they came to Chicago in search of the best burger. Its menu is simple: a handful of burger and sandwich offerings, sides, and shakes. It has seven locations throughout the city and suburbs and prides itself on offering the highest quality non-processed ingredients available. While it's safe to say there is no shortage of quick-service burger spots in Chicago, there's one in particular with a goal to create "a more mindful burger." Epic Burger was founded in Chicago in 2008 as a way to introduce people to the idea of eating non-processed, simple food, at a reasonable price.
