Meat Free Madness: Vegan Burger Showdown at Mohawk Bend

()
On July 30, chefs Mike Garber (Mohawk Bend), Jet Tila (The Charleston), and Kajsa Alger (STREET) will compete in the ultimate meatless Monday challenge, duking it out to see who can create the best animal-free burger.
Keeping the burgers vegan is no small feat, considering most veggie burgers use egg as a binder. It will be interesting to see what each chef uses to bring the ingredients together in a healthful yet delicious way.
LAist will be there judging it all, as will Los Angeles Mag's Lesley Barger Suter, Heather Goldberg and Jenny Engel of The Spork Sisters, and Antoanet “Toni” Aburto from M Café de Chaya. Guests won't be left out of the game though: A $12 vegan sampler platter of the burgs will be available for purchase. And just like on "Top Chef," they will vote for a fan favorite.
The competition will take place from 6 p.m.-9p.m. with winners being announced at 9:30 p.m. There will, of course, be countless California craft beerson tap to sip on while waiting for the results.

At LAist, we believe in journalism without censorship and the right of a free press to speak truth to those in power. Our hard-hitting watchdog reporting on local government, climate, and the ongoing housing and homelessness crisis is trustworthy, independent and freely accessible to everyone thanks to the support of readers like you.
But the game has changed: Congress voted to eliminate funding for public media across the country. Here at LAist that means a loss of $1.7 million in our budget every year. We want to assure you that despite growing threats to free press and free speech, LAist will remain a voice you know and trust. Speaking frankly, the amount of reader support we receive will help determine how strong of a newsroom we are going forward to cover the important news in our community.
We’re asking you to stand up for independent reporting that will not be silenced. With more individuals like you supporting this public service, we can continue to provide essential coverage for Southern Californians that you can’t find anywhere else.
