NEW Beyond Burger vs Impossible Burger vs OLD Beyond Burger: Which is the MEATIEST 

Gang do me a favor and smash the heck out of the LIKE button!!! Smash it like a smash burger... light it blue! Do it for the ALGO! hahah

Fun story: I'm from Argentina so I can't get these brands here, and when I went to Orlando with my sister (who's vegetarian) we went to Burger King and I asked for one normal burger for me and one veggie whopper for her. When we opened hers, she thought they forgot to make it veggie and I tried it and thought it was meat. It tasted like a regular BK patty, so I went back and told the lady that there's been a mistake, and she was like "nope that's the impossible burger lol". My mind was blown :o So as a meat eater, I can assure you that it does taste like beef! I hope they bring these ones to my country because I don't like the texture of beef burgers anyways, I prefer this impossible one Btw: Please don't come at me for not being vegetarian or vegan, I really enjoy trying out plant-based foods and I love the science behind these things, that's why I'm here :)

As someone with a late-developed potato intolerance who can't eat anything with potato starch or other potato derivatives, it's a sign of how much I appreciate your videos that I watched the entire thing despite being unable to eat any of these burgers. 🤷🏼😑😄

Next time you do a smell test, use ground coffee between. Supposedly cleanses the pallet so to speak.

I'm excited to try the new beyond burger because the old recipe was a little off putting. I really enjoy the impossible as well. Great video thank you!

By far my favorite channel! Educational and fun to watch/learn

I was eating 4 of the OLD (Original) Beyond Burgers a week. When the new Beyond Burger 2.0 came out I thought it was Horrible because it DID taste more like a Meat Burger with the HEME. However, I am a 48-year4 Vegan whose taste buds have changed and I just don't like the taste of meat. I have not tried nor will I try the Impossible Burger because they use NON-Organic Soy Beans which contain GMO's. The Best tasting Commercial Vegan Burger I've found is Hillary's Fiesta Black Bean Burger sold at Sprouts.

I enjoy Impossible for burgers, tacos, and pasta. Even so, I will have an open mind when trying the newest Beyond.

I have a soy intolerance so I've never been able to try the Impossible. I'm definitely looking forward to trying the new Beyond, just so I can maybe see what this 'meatier' taste is all about! Thanks for the review!

Love the side by side taste tests!! 🍔❤️

This video is so well shot, detailed and has so much personality. :)

Yes! This is what I've been waiting for!

I’ve heard from my family and internet that New Beyond Burgers improved taste/ smell and its so good now! I would choose Beyond and being Non-GMO compared to Impossible is huge plus.

Good editing man! To be honest, I prefer your tvp recipe and I do it all the time, considering also that there is way less oil and if needed you can just omit it all together. Also congrats for the cookbook!!

The first and second generation Beyond burger smells like Alpo dog food before it's cooked, but it was tasty treat. Black bean burgers for the win for me, just because they're healthier.🤷🏽‍♀️

Great review! Very helpful. Thank you. 🙏

The video I didn't know I needed until now. Thank you!!

You nailed the smell of the original Beyond Burger when you said cat food. I knew it was funky but could never identify it. It did “cook out” however and the cooked smell was fine. Afterwords I always noticed a sugary kind of burnt residue in my nonstick pan and spatula. Have wondered what that is. Thanks, Mark. 👍

My first experience with beyond meat at a taco place ended up with me in the ER the next day, so I haven’t tried to again. The Impossible has been my go to protein and I love the taste. I use the ground for tacos, in my casserole that calls for “meat”. Thank you for this video and your channel!

I love it when your partner makes a guest appearance. She is so nice! I ordered Beyond Burgers today. I wonder what version will be arriving. I will have to add garlic if they are less flavorful.

Great vid man

I prefer Impossible but haven't tried the new Beyond yet!

Thank you for the prompt comparison. 👍

Thanks for all you do. Need to see some things to throw in the smoker this summer.

I personally think that the old Beyond is perfect (both taste and smell). In other words I agree with your wife.

Ps. I love the taste tests and convo at the end xo

I LOVE IMPOSSIBLE BURGER 😁 I have a degree in food product development and if i had been on the team that created the impossible burger i would have felt i had succeeded in my life’s purpose lol...I have a whole separate freezer just for impossible burgers. I serve impossible burgers to dedicated carnivores and they have No Idea its not meat. I am Very Grateful they were created! My transition to plant based would have been MUCH harder if not impossible without The Impossible Burger 😁🥰🙏

Loved the review-but adding salt to these already salty burgers is overkill, in my opinion :). Thank you for all the work you put into this video.

I'm slowly going more towards the impossible burger. Both are good. Also I feel like ppl forget about the gardein ultimate beefless burger, I love it!

I like both and buy whichever one is on sale at the time. Can't wait to get my cookbook!

The Beyond Burger used to always give me acid reflux. The new Beyond Burger doesn't at all. The weird after tastes is much, much lighter now. Impossible is my favorite though!

I haven't tried the new Beyond yet, but I will say that the Impossible has always been my favorite. I really, really love that you and Monica sit down and do an in depth taste test! Thank you!! Not sure if you've heard of or have tried Sweet Earths Awesome Bacon Burger? I really like that one too!!😋😋😋

Neat. I didn't know they had been beyond burgers! Thanks for this.

Thanks for doing this!

I’m excited to try the new BM burger.

I'm with Kindred Spirits Sanctuary, not too far from you, let me know if you and the wife want a tour. Mix in a little extra soy sauce to your Impossible and more pepper and then reform the burger. It goes from 9/10 like beef to a 10/10. Also old Beyond smell, is reminiscent of an old fast food kitchen.

It smells like a protein I tried not to smell it much but when it’s cooked it smells good! I just made it for the first time the beyond burger blew me away how it tasted like a charred burger!! I did add a little salt and pepper added grated cheddar cheese, lettuce, pickles, tomatoes and ketchup I did add a little avocado oil spray . Love your video! 👍good to know for next time I buy them

Oh, that is interesting! The old Beyond Burger (the only one of these three we have available where I live) for me tastes so specific, you can never mistake it for anything else ;P And actually, I am happy I am not missing meat much as they honestly just don't taste like "the real thing" - however, good in a vegan brioche bun with some delicious sauces and toppings! Now, after your taste test, I feel like I could like the new one much more and my family probably too. Will have to wait till it comes to Europe and give it a second chance :D . Anyways, thank you for this fun video - glad you enjoyed making it too! Have a wonderful end of the week!

We just tried the Beyond burger last year for the first time. And had impossible today for the first time. Definitely a fan of the Beyond burger - as it cooks nicely and has a softer texture. I find the Impossible to be similar to a regular soy burger with added textures, and flavors but still has that distinct soy taste. Thanks for sharing this video!

It came out in Germany last week and I tasted it. As your wife says, it tastes more like meat because of missing spices. It also doesn´t have this aftertaste after hours. Definately an improvement.

I’m an impossible girl when it comes to the burgers and grounds lol but I don’t mind beyond burgers from restaurants. I’ll have to give the new beyond a try because I never cared for the flavor and aftertaste, I rather season myself. It sucks though because a lot of people that enjoyed beyond over impossible loved that flavor it already came with and also the fact that it didn’t taste too much like meat. More options for our different likes

I'm not a huge burger guy but as a vegan for 4 years I fell like I've been living under a rock to find out these hav been at my metro for the last year or so and longer st Walmart were i try not to go to. Thanks for sharing as usual stash and much respect for your book. Happy its doing good and not just for you if you know what I mean lol

i would be interested in a tempeh burger recipe from you!! :D

I love impossible but my usual burgers are Morningstar Farms and Gardein, very yum and more affordable. I had issue with the beyond burger from the odd smell/flavor, willing to try the new depending on price.

I wish I could still eat Impossible and Beyond burgers. Because I'm at stage 4 CKD I swore off all processed foods. I used to use Impossible meat for EVERYTHING. Wontons, tacos, meatloaf, stuffed peppers, beef lo mein. I'm gonna cry now.

I’ve tried all three and I agree that the new Beyond Burger has the same texture as the Impossible burger. I think meat eaters will really like the new beyond burgers. It would be interesting to try a taste test with a meat eater using the Impossible Burger and the new Beyond Burger.

Great video!

I love beyond #2. The first had a weird smell that you nailed , but #2 is the closest I've had to my old beef burgers that i made

Great Video! From the thumbnail I thought Simon Whistler was doing food reviews now :) I have not had beef in 20 years. That said I like the old Beyond best, my kid thought the same. I really want to like Impossible but it has a weird oily quality to it. I still get Impossible whoppers for the convenience tho.

great video thank you !

Such a great channel… cheers

It is interesting you mention a cat food smell. I recently used millet for the first time to make some breakfast muffins and was surprised how much the smell of the muffins after being cooked reminded me of the smell of cat food. A quick googling says millet is often used in dog/cat food. Not sure what the old Beyond has in it but maybe a clue why there is a smell association?

Lovely 👌🏻

I appreciate the side by side by side comparison.

Impossible Burger is better than the old beyond burger, but will try the new beyond burger, I will be doing my own taste test. Thanx.

If someone had told me even 5 years ago that there would be this much choice, I would have pulled an Elaine Benes and shoved them back with a "Get OUT!" Thanks for this careful evaluation, and your enthusiastic review of the finished products!

Literally just finished eating an impossible burger and now watching this video ☺️

Sauce, you are looking GREAT! Are you going to Miami this weekend?

I liked the first version of Beyond Burger. It was more like a well done burger which is what I prefer

I like hearing that beyond is totally open to improving their burger! Eating the impossible burger was a life changing experience for me. I'm a meat eater and having had the beyond burger in the past I was highly skeptical the impossible burger would be any good. It was so good and realistic that I actually started laughing and later that night looked up how to invest in the company. Just like that, I was completely sold. I knew right there I was looking at the google of future food.

My fav parts of these videos are the taste tests

GOOD MORNING SAUCYMAN! The Beyond Burgers of Old were good, but shall the new ones live up to their legacy? Also, awesome to see you with the Impossible Patties FINALLY! I bought 6 of those 2 packs last month lol and a brick of the Beyond Burger Meat by accident lol. I should be able to compare the 2 this month.

I agree with your partner's order of preference. I never minded the original beyond burger smell. The new one definitely is more like what I remember real meat taste and texture and is just as bland but got rid of the smell that many complained about.

We have been tasting all of the substitutes for months and we have made up our minds. Impossible Burger are the 5/5 best for taste and flavors. I do use personal spices and seasonings. Beyond Meat is a close second and excellent choice. Regards.

You should do a video on Good Butchers VS Beyond.. would love to see what you think.

I've always preferred the Beyond Burger for a multitude of reasons, ranging from taste to company philosophy (e.g. Impossible Foods tested on animals!).

I loved the "old Beyond" and really hated the "new Beyond" (taste and smell is overwhelming for me). I had tried the Impossible at Burger King and always love it!

Do a cover on the very good butchers burgers based out of Vancouver Canada! 🤘🏼

Impossible taste too much like actual meat, and is why I like it last.

am I the only one who just really looks forward to the taste tests?? They are just so detailed and honest and really cover everything one would want to know

I did a similar comparison and included others such as Emerge and one other. Impossible hands down was the most meat like but I gotta say, I really like the flavor of beyond burger for it's own sake. And given they sell them at Costco was cheaper than the grocery store, it is my go-to faux meat.

Thank you for this video! I couldn't stand the Beyond Burger for its smell, but also the taste. I really didn't enjoy it and it stank up the house. Even my husband who doesn't say much commented on the smell. I really like the Impossible Burger. Maybe I'll give the new Beyond Burger a try.

Yesss I’ve been wondering about this!!! Are they still going to sell the old verison??

Great video! I’ve tried both beyond and impossible and basically even though they taste different I’m not partial to either one. They’re both just roughly the same, even though they do taste different. On a sidenote, Sam’s Club is really good about steeply marking down their stuff that they’re getting rid of. Wonder if they’ll be clearancing out the current stock of beyond burger patties to make way for the new Patty? If anyone runs across that please let us know!

Haven’t tried the new version of beyond yet but I’ll give it a try when I see it. I was one of the ones that hated that flavor and that smell 🤢… I preferred impossible, but I only had it very few times as I always felt guilty eating it for some odd reason 🙈. But I’m glad impossible is available to cook it at home. When I had it out, I had a few very tearful scares and drove my spouse crazy because I wasn’t sure if it I ate real cows meat (haven’t had the actual stuff in like 25 yrs) 😫😂… After a few times I stopped ordering it out 🙈…

Impossible to find Impossible here in France (see what I did there 😉). Great vid

I thank the Universe I've found your channel

Interesting great stuff

Chopped Soy Curls with taco seasoning and a little olive oil make a great taco stuffing also.

I much prefer the Impossible burger, hands down. It just works for me. If I really had to make a list of which I like more in what order, after Impossible it would be the new Beyond, then the old Beyond. Thanks for the video. ^_^

i’ve never gotten that “cat food” smell from the beyond and i cook with it about every week

These tacos look great! A Gyro is sooo... like a soft taco! oh yeah. I think I will be a bit lazy and use the frozen riced cauliflower. 😊👍

I like both the impossible and the beyond, I get them 8 in a sleeve at costco, $10-14, and Sams Caries one of them.

I didn’t even know there was a new beyond burger....of course living in a tiny town does make it hard to get good vegan options. Thanks for the video because now I have something new to look for.

If Beyond Burger got rid of the "cat food smell", then I will definitely give it another try. To me, in the raw state it really did smell like "cat food", it was kind of disgusting and would stink up the room also after it was cooked. To be fair, it didn't taste bad once it was cooked, but I preferred the Impossible burger taste so at that point there was no reason to give the Beyond another try. But if they did get rid of that odor, it's worth another look.

It's the smell of the old Beyond Burger when it cooks that is off putting. Who cares what it smells like raw? If you are eating it raw then you are doing it wrong. When cooked it smells up the whole house. Tastes awesome, though.

I didn't even know there was a new Beyond and now I have to try it. I eat the old Beyond a lot when I don't feel like having meat, and I'm curious if I'll like the new one.

I’m a meat eater, won’t deny that, but watch ALOT, if not all of your videos just out of curiosity, over here in Australia, HungryJacks (BurgerKing) brought out a plant based patty Whopper, I tried it, and I didn’t hate it at all. I still like a eye fillet, but am definitely opening up to trying more plant based meats! And I think a lot of that comes from your videos!

The main reason they use the 3 different protein sources, the mung bean, peas, brown rice extract is because the combination of the 3 rounds out to make a complete protein the proper amino acid profiles they want it to be. Makes it the most complete they can make it is why they have those 3 there. Maybe it's for some of the reasons you say but the complete protein and nutrition profile is main reason.

I haven't tried the new Beyond Burger, but I love the old one. In Canada it does have a slightly different formula in it to adhere to Canadian regulations, so I don't know if it tastes the same as the ones in the States. But, I have tried the Impossible Burger. Honestly, it tasted so much like beef, I couldn't eat it. It tasted good, but it completely creeped me out. And I NEVER thought I'd end up being one of those vegans who said that, but I apparently am...

That’s funny you post this video, I know you’re local here in the O, finally my local whole foods has them and I picked them up Tuesday. Last night for dinner I had the meatier beyond and me and my wife literally said it taste a little less, which actually makes it taste better and more like beef. I’ve been an impossible burger guy since day one. But this new beyond is wayyy better than the old version. The old version made me Nauseous with that weird flavor lol.

I Love-Beyond Burger Patties&Malibu Burger Patties&Impossible Burger Patties-Also!-Raymond "Mike" Hong!&(Great Comparison Tests!-Mike!)😎👍!!!!!!!!!

Aww, I'm with your partner - I'm gonna miss the original beyond! I loved its flavor - I know it's less like meat than the impossible, but I loved it just for itself. But as you said, enticing meat eaters is the real goal, so good for them.

I’m convinced you can make meatier than any of them but it’s good to know other companies out their are improving and gaining on impossible burger.

oh, adding... I'm bad about over cooking things. but the new beyond seemed less rubbery than the old when I cooked it more carefully than normal. I never have a problem with impossible when cooking too long.

Ummm i think new beyond burger is more juicy and have more meat than others i will go for new beyond burger but for healthy option i will go with old burger

I haven't tried the new version, but my husband and I both like both companies' products. I have also used Kroger's version, which they call Emerge, which is usually between 50-60% cheaper, and goes on sale more often. It is similar in texture and taste to the original Beyond, which is great for my minced onion, low broil method, in which the Impossible doesn't do quite as well. The latter tends to dry out a bit, in spite of having fresh minced onion mixed in. We have tended to prefer Impossible as just a plain burger, done up as Burger King does theirs, because it has some sort of grilled taste, even at home, which goes super well with the fresh tomato, lettuce, onion, vegan mayo dill pickle, and dot of ketchup, and takes Vegan Chao cheeze extremely well. I did ours "deluxe" recently, by caramelising onion slices and mushrooms in a pan, then adding those to the Impossible after flipping them just once, finishing the cooking, then topping them with the cheeze till melted and slightly browned, then served as described, only subbing in a touch of brown mustard for the dill pickles, and no fresh onion. The other way, with the minced onions, keeps them moister, adds nice flavour, texture, and a bit of allicin, as well as helping a half pound make four decent-sized patties that are lighter on the digestion, with less bloating, versus not adding the minced onions, and having denser burgers, that end up sitting like rocks in the stomach. Not sure why, but hey, it is what it is, and that is, just something we have a couple times a month, rather than like my family, where we had usually plain actual burgers once or twice a week. Dad sometimes did what he called Teyiyaki Burgers, by adding the m.o.s, but also, cooked white rice and soy sauce, cooked on a charcoal grill, some of them with barbecue sauce slathered for even more flavour. I haven't gotten around to doing that yet. I'm actually a little worried it will take me back so strongly that I might get a bit upset (as he died in 2001, and my sister died in 2018, so I can never share this with them). One last idea for you: Using a half pound of the ground, added to five or six leaves of chopped cabbage, a third of a chopped onion and six or 8 chopped baby carrots (or the equivalent amount of regular mirepoix), with a touch of oil, salt, and pepper, and/or some Osem consomme, then add in one can of generic "chili hot beans." You will need to add water, enough to allow the cabbage to fully cook, and the beans to be entirely soft, adding more if you want it to be a soup, less if you want a stew.

I have given up on the beyond because of the taste and after taste. Impossible is the winner. Hands down.

I have cooked with them -- the Impossible Burger clearly looks better, but after cooking, I give the Impossible a very slight edge in taste and texture.

I love the beyond burgers but before they’re cooked they smell exactly like Alpo dog food when you open the package. LOL!
