We Tried White Castle's Impossible Burger Slider

Just a few short years ago, eating a "veggie burger" usually meant just that: eating a burger made from vegetables, mushrooms, beans, perhaps quinoa, and some spices thrown in for good measure. Then came the era of the "bleeding" plant-based burger which, given the popularity and growth of both theBeyond Burgerand theImpossible Burger, is an era we are living squarely in the middle of right at this moment.

Withyesterday's announcement and today's rolloutof the Impossible Slider at白城堡, that second goal is taking shape as the bloody, no-beef revolution officially takes over the ultimate target: a主流快餐汉堡链亚搏电竞.

We tried the new Impossible Slider, which is a collaboration between Ohio-based White Castle and California-based Impossible Foods, the latter of which has garnered attention for not only its adoption bychefs like David Chang和连锁店鲜味Burger, but also for its ability raisetens of millions of dollars in investment capital. It's no wonder, then, that the launch of the slider was celebrated with celebrity-studded bash. Hosted by comedian/director/vintnerEric Wareheim, with a DJ set by The Roots'Questlove, and a performance by Ghostface Killah and Cappadonna of theWu-Tang Clan, White Castle overhauled its Myrtle Avenue location in Brooklyn's Bushwick neighborhood to give food industry insiders and influencers the first taste.

The Impossible Slider sells for $1.99 a la carte—double the price of a beef cheeseburger slider—andcan also be purchased as part of a combo with a side and a drink. Curious to try the Impossible Slider yourself? The burger is available in 140 White Castle stores across three states—New York, New Jersey, and some Chicago-area restaurants—starting today.
