NOW’s ultimate veggie burger challenge

(So, continuing along with the veggie burger debate...NOW published this back in October, but I guess I missed it. Not surprisingly, their top pick was the Lick's Burger!):

It seems like every sports bar, student-friendly pub and health food café in town may offer them, but not all veggie burgers are created equal.

To find the best veggie burger in Toronto, we looked for spots that take the time to make their own patties (Pulp Kitchen, for example, does not). We passed on places that rely on suppliers with names familiar from supermarket freezer cases like Yves's (Yellow Griffin Pub), Amy's and Sol Cuisine (e.g. Grapefruit Moon). We also gave a miss to joints that call grilled tofu on toast veggies burgers. Note, too, that we asked non-vegetarian venues if their veggie burgers are cooked separately from their beef, a concept most carnivorous restaurateurs still can't get their heads around.
