Café Brauer
You don’t have to look too hard to find pretty miserable preparations of the Impossible Burger, the vegetable-based, meat-like patty on a bun. Maybe chefs are not yet sure how to prepare this relatively low-fat, no-meat burger. At Café Brauer on the Lincoln Park lagoon, they know what they’re doing, serving the Impossible Burger, with the crisp “crust” found on the best smash burgers, and a deep flavor that may convince you to give up beef, enhance your health and save the planet.
