  • Hi Everybody! Here's my quick and easy way to make Vegan Crab Cakes, like Trader Joe's but WAAAYYYYY better!
    For the recipe please visit:
    www.theeburger...

    Kelp Granules: amzn.to/39wJCl0
    Old Bay: amzn.to/3ueTeZA
    My goal at THEE BURGER DUDE is to show vegans and non-vegans alike how easy it is to make delicious and decadent vegan meals. I used to eat a lot of meat and dairy before going vegan, so this channel is aimed at people like myself before going vegan. Additionally, I totally welcome any vegans who might be missing one of their favorite fast food or comfort food meals as well, come on in! I want to show that you can still have burgers, mac n' cheese, fried chick’n and any other kind of comfort food, and that it’s possible with plant-based ingredients.
    If you’re new to veganism and don’t know where to start, or if you’re totally new to cooking, or new to both, then I hope you find something on this site that piques your interest and are inspired to cook! And if you have any questions please contact me!
    If you are interested in recommendations for Kitchen Gear, Spices & Pantry Items, or what I use for my Photos and Videos, please check this link: www.amazon.com...

    A jackfruit tip I wish I learned sooner...wring the shit out of it in a kitchen towel. That's how you get a meatier texture and get the briney flavor out.

    Made these yesterday and they were incredibly tasty! Couldn't find Old Bay at my local grocery store here in Canada, but found some other seafood seasoning and it totally did the trick. Threw in a chopped dill pickel in the sauce as well instead of dill relish and it was fire. Thanks for all these great vegan comfort food recipes!

      It wasn't a fairness competition, it was for taste. The Trader Joe's were sold as frozen, it's not like he froze them from fresh in order to give himself a leg up. Plus he's judging his own creation vs. a competitor, where's the fairness in that?
