Beefsteak "Beet"steak Burger

Don't let the name fool you, Beefsteak is actually one of the best vegetarian restaurants around! I actually don't know exactly how to feel about some of their dishes. Sometimes it feels as if they're just trying to throw together as many random vegetables together without regard to melding. The beetsteak burger, however, was amazing. I ordered mine with a half an avocado. Avocado, tomato, sprouts, vegan chipotle mayo, lettuce, and a big fat juicy beet slice. It's beet heaven.

Spoiler alert: the beet isn't red! I didn't know they made white beets, so I was very surprised.

Four stars, because I could see how you could be turned off by eating that much beet if you're not a total beet eater. But it was surprisingly filling and good. They also have these fancy juices that seem pretty healthy and eccentric. I got the apple spinach cilantro one. It was good but also you have to be in the mood for a healthy drink to really enjoy it. They also have beet juice, but I shied away from that.
