Vegetarians/Vegans: What Your Favorite "Burger?"

I haven't tried any of the ones above. I've had Morningstar Farms regular veggie burger, Impossible, Beyond, and a few black bean burgers at restaurants.
I wouldn't object to trying all of them but I love falafel, so the Gardein falafel burger is the one that looks most enticing to me. Probably the Dr Praeger's mushroom risotto next.
I'm not gonna lie...I'm a bit intimidated by both "The Actual" burgers.

Those "Actual" burgers look tasty.
I'm not veggie but eldest daughter is. The choice of veggie burgers around here seem to be flour or lentil based with different vegies for flavour. To me they don't seem appetising but Sam doesn't complain.
Alas, I have never had the opportunity to taste any of those.
However, there are a few varieties of veggie burger here in Brazil. They taste considerably unlike, and I have come to realize that while I like champignons fine, mushroom-based "veggie" burgers are not the ones I like best.
Generally speaking I prefer those based on soybeans or chickpeas. I do love falafel as well, and they are based on chickpeas.

Given we're in different countries it's a bit academic probably; I've not heard of any of these. My current favourite is probably Moving Mountains...

I don't think we have a lot of those varieties, but I don't often shop much for burgers. If I'm going to buy imitation 'meat' at all, its usually something that I chop up(or that's already in small pieces) and add to another dish. Burgers as a meal are too pricy to do often. But, if we're going to, I guess the Morningstar Grillers Prime, because the taste is familiar, it blends well with vegetables(have to have them on a sandwich), and Yudhi will eat them(he doesn't like much).
I've tried a few different 'patty' recipes, but they never are easy, or they're fried(I try to keep fry to a minimum).
Easily? Do tell.

We use Elmer's carpenter glue to hold it all together. Boss is trying her best to kill me.
Actually, there are a couple of key ingredients for that, one being besan flour, another being any glutinous rice or glutinous rice flour. That sticky stuff will hold anything together. We make the patties by hand, but there is a lot of pushing and squeezing to get it right. It's not all that common here, as there are many other 'go to' meals here. It's always broiled in the oven, never fried.
Experiment, experiment experiment ... if it crumbles, it's still totally edible.
Do you think Elmer's school glue will work? It's all I have on hand.
Do you have to roast the besan first?
We don't have these here in the states.
Nope ... only the carpenter glue. She's tried every glue under the midday sun. Like I said, experiment, experiment experiment. The besan needs to be turned into the consistency of past or watery. You can also bake that into a Tofu like substance in a baking pan.
I don't do veggie burgers but i do make meat burgers. Minced meat of choice (so perhaps fine chopped veggies), crumbed bread, a diced onion and an egg to bind it all.
I don't fry but put the patties on a tray and cook in the oven for 10 or 15 minutes. Saves collapsing in the frying pan.

No, I didn't expect it. Just saying they're my current faves.
They have some meat replacement now that you can treat like ground beef(super expensive, though). I mixed breadcrumbs, eggs, and cassava into it and made patties. That was really good!
That's how we cook a lot of stuff, especially any 'burger'.
Fish, chops, sausage, etc is all done in the oven, for one it's healthier because no oil (or very little) is needed.
