The original hamburger served by West Hollywood vegan eatery Real Food Daily (RFD) has been named 26th best in the country by Yelp.
So what does it taste like?
WEHOville stopped into RFD over at 414 N. La Cienega Blvd. on Wednesday to give it a try.
RFD’s signature patty — made of lentil, crisp tempeh bacon and a solid kick of jalapenos — reminded us of smoky, spicy chopped brisket. The patty’s blood red color and ground texture also could’ve fooled anyone.
It’s served on a Ciabatta bun and topped with melted cashew cheese, caramelized onions, arugula and a chipotle aioli.
At $17, it’s no bargain burger, but there’s no reason to pinch pennies on the most prized patty in WeHo, and as of this week, one of the best burgers in the free world.
“The GOAT of PLANT-BASED dining!!! I’ve been going to RFD for years and once again, nothing has changed in terms of how much I love it here. From their milkshakes to the onion rings,” said reviewer Sascha J.
“We started off with the cheeseburger egg rolls which were phenomenal. I then ordered the weekender where I got the butterscotch pancakes, the chipotle sausage, eggs and had browned. Everything was amazing and such a big portion where I couldn’t find it,” reviewer Lorraine A. wrote.
“They’re nailing their burger game,” wrote reviewer Nina P.

Its around 10 years since I was there and had the burger – it was ok for a veggie burger but I think there’s a lot of grade inflation to say its top 30 in SoCal let alone nationally.
Methinks a bunch of vegans would be surprised just how good a real burger can be if they would only broaden their horizons
Isn’t it weird that vegans like the taste of cooked meat? I’m just sayin
Kitchen 24 ….Surprised you forgot them as they have an amazing burger and fries on the menu…
Actually, they’ve been at that location for 30 years! Since 1993.
How can you tell? Their website doesn’t say anything about year established.
Actually it does. I’ve lived here since 1985 and recalled them being here a long time, far more than 8 years, so I searched them online. That’s where I found the year. Their site.
Thanks for looking into that. Still waiting on the owner to call back 😛
I think waiting 30 years for a call back is long enough
