The world’s best burger has been announced… with one MAJOR surprise

The title of World's Best Burger has been awarded, with one major twist: this year's winner contains zero meat. GQ Magazine found their winning patty on the menu at new veggie eatery Superiority Burger in New York's East Village. And at $6 (around €5.60) it's cheap as chips too.

FOOD: SUPERIORITY BURGER @superiorityburger - VEGETARIAN / VEGAN Looks like a delicious burger, tastes like a delicious burger and HAS NO MEAT. Pretty amazing little slider they do there, full of flavour, not full of animals. Inside is MUENSTER CHEESE ICEBERG TOMATO DILL PICKLE. #superiorityburger #nyc #burger

The vegan recipe is top secret, but it's basically a veggie burger topped with roasted tomato, iceberg lettuce, pickle and Muenster cheese (on request). Here's what GQ's Nick Marino had to say about it:

"Maybe the best thing about NYC chef Brooks Headley's raved-about Superiority Burger — better even than the nutty patty, the roasted umami-bomb tomato, the fact that no cows were harmed in the creation of this sandwich — is the texture. The bun squishes. The lettuce crunches. The pickles snap. That patty, made from ingredients Headley won't divulge and miles beyond whatever your vegan friends use to assault your grill during barbecues, has genuine heft. Who knew that in the perfectly proportioned Platonic ideal of a burger, beef isn't even necessary?"
