Dontx Joined: 04/01/11 Posts: 51	Veggie BBQ Burger at a Cow Town festival Posted Saturday, April 2, 2011 at 9:48 PM I help our Garden Club raise money for scholarships at the town festival selling BBQ Brisket sandwiches. We aways sell out usually around 1000 sandwiches. This year the Garden Club is allowing me to make and sell Veggie BBQ burgers for their fundraiser to sell along side of the Brisket sandwiches. This is risky, I think there are 4 vegetarians in the County. And it could very well Flop. (I'm taking advantage of my recent heart attack pity to get this fat free healthy option started.) I'm using a recipe from the "Engine Two Diet Book". I modified Rip Esselstyn's "New York Times Burger" by adding smoked paprika, vegan BBQ sauce and red pepper flakes to the recipe. I plan on making 24 the night before and serving them warm on a bun with BBQ sauce. The condiments will be pickles and onions. Wish me Luck!!!!

Dontx Joined: 04/01/11 Posts: 51	RE: Veggie BBQ Burger at a Cow Town festival Posted Saturday, April 2, 2011 at 10:43 PM Thanks Y'all. The Brisket sandwiches sell for $3.50 ea. What price should I put on the Veggie BBQ burgers? More - to indicate a superior healthy sandwich? Less - to indicate a introductory bargin and to get people to try something new? The same - ??? Any nifty sayings to put on the advertising booth poster? (This is a garden club and these will be vegetable burgers.) Don in cattle country Texas

I'll come buy one. Or two, or five... Sounds mighty fine. I say charge $2.50 or $3.00. You may lose money, but as you said, it's a donation, anyway, and you may lure some people in with the low price. I'm not much good at sayings, though. Molly Horn

You could call it a Cow-less burger and say "No animals were harmed in the production of this burger." Vikki ~ Wild4Stars@gmail.com

Dontx Joined: 04/01/11 Posts: 51	RE: Veggie BBQ Burger at a Cow Town festival Posted Sunday, April 3, 2011 at 11:56 AM Molyhorn, sorry these burgers will not be sold in THE TEXAS COW TOWN which every one knows is Fort Worth TX but will be sold in a very small town east of Austin, April 30th. I know KickStart will be over, but the forum will still be open and I will post the results. (Can pictures be posted here?) Wild4stars, everyone out here is in cattle production, knows someone closely who is, or benefits from it. This will be the first time ever that there is a vegerterian (vegan) option. I'm proceeding with caution. Veggies4me, Sorry, we WILL be sold out by noon. (hope)

You could name the burger after your Garden club, to put the spin on the buy fresh, buy local theme. Featuring: The (name of garden club) Texas BBQ Veggie Burger! Great with a side of kale chips... (now I'm hungry )

Dontx Joined: 04/01/11 Posts: 51	RE: Veggie BBQ Burger at a Cow Town festival Posted Saturday, April 30, 2011 at 7:10 PM As promised I am reporting back on the sale of the vegan burgers sold at the BBQ sandwich booth in our little cattle county town. We made 22 and sold 16. This was a slow year and we only sold about 400 BBQ sandwiches. The BBQ sandwiches sold for $4.00 and our vegan burgers sold for $3.00. We were the only non-meat option available of the festival. We noticed none of the people who ordered the garden burger were overweight. Two even came back for the recipe. We are happy that 16 people who did not want to eat meat had a choice. Don

Here is a thought... maybe those people who would normally eat the veggie burger, ate before they came.. as you know.. we go places with a plan a head of time... Now you just have to have a contest of the best veggie buger.. no meat patties at all...that is a dream come true huh??? a vegan contest..!! lol..

Dontx Joined: 04/01/11 Posts: 51	RE: Veggie BBQ Burger at a Cow Town festival Posted Sunday, May 1, 2011 at 11:53 AM One thing that I found interesting is that all the vegan burger customers were thin women. Why is that????? There is a Chocolate Festival in the fall in our small town in which the Dairy Industry sets up a cow booth to show all the goodness in milk. The wheels are spinning for a non-dairy chocolate "rebuttal" booth. Maybe we could get Shira Lane down here!!! http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1730342331/got-the-facts-on-milk-the-milk-documentary
