Boston Pizza Veggie Burgers & Sweet Potato Fries

Day 11

First and foremost: I apologize but I am about to ramble. I can't even tell you how rambly I'm feeling.

Dog Fights & Hanger

Today, we got started off on the wrong foot; the dogs were kind of fighty before work and both spent the day in solitary confinement, to ensure their lives remained intact until we came home. After work, Laura had an appointment and I had errands to run, then we rushed home to work on getting the dogs back to a semblance of normalcy, which took nearly an hour. With some harmony restored, I had still more errands to run (today is also payday) so I knew that supper probably wasn't happening unless someone else cooked it, since a trip to the grocery store wouldn't be possible until at least 9:00. So, I finally got home with BP take-out - just to be able to eat before we died.

We were both hangry and feeling worn out.

The New BP Veggie Burger

BP is not one of our favorite restaurants, but it does have one of our favorite veggie burgers. Or, did. Apparently they no longer have the veggie burger on their menu, but instead you can order any of their burgers as a veggie option. For instance, "I'll have your Prime Rib Burger, but could you please substitute the prime rib burger for a veggie burger!" So, you would get a veggie burger topped with lettuce, tomato, red onion, pickles and a zesty sauce. The one I love is the Pepperoni & Bacon Pizzaburger. Which is half-pound prime rib beef burger wrapped in a pepperoni pizza, stuffed with bacon, pizza mozzarella and pizza sauce, topped with even more pepperoni and pizza mozzarella, then "baked to perfection" and garnished with lettuce, tomato and pickle. The veggie option of this one is like the Prime Rib Burger but without the red onion and zesty sauce. Same idea with the Double Bacon BBQ Burger, loaded with bacon and BBQ sauce, which translates to a veggie burger with BBQ sauce. For the low, low price of....$13.95!

Seriously?

No. That's how it was explained to us, but that's really only the gist of how it works. In reality, you just order a veggie burger and tell them what toppings you like and they figure out what to charge you from there, I guess. Unless...unless, you order "The Old Veggie Burger" which still works...for now. They still remember what goes on them, which was this fantastic combination:

• BBQ sauce
• roasted red pepper
• carmelized red onion
• lettuce
• tomato
• pickles
• feta
• roasted garlic mayo

Plus we order grilled mushrooms on it just to make it yummy. Their patty is phenomenal and the burger is big enough to split between the two of us and be stuffed. Plus we always order the sweet potato fries with that yummy sauce and tonight was no exception.

Here's the embarrassing part. I came home. We weakly and wordlessly divvied up the food. We sat down to eat. And with more than half of my half gone, I realized that I failed to take a picture of it! DOH! Sooo...better late than never is what I always say. My apologies about the presentation.

Review/Comments

From what I recall of the delirious haze of gobbling this down, it was fabulous as always. We both recommend this if your Boston Pizza still has them or remembers how to make them. BP is super accommodating, I find, so they will put whatever toppings you ask for on it.
