The ‘World’s Best Veggie Burger’ – Seriously!
We’re more than just a little excited to be serving Hilary’s Eat Well “World’s Best Veggie Burger” on our 10th Anniversary Cruise! I know what you might be thinking… ‘I hate eating meat substitutes,’ or ‘I already have a veggie burger brand I love, and out of all the other disappointing versions there’s no way this one could be better.’ Well ladies and gentlemen, we’d strongly urge you to think again, and we’ll prove to you why!
Having scratched together the mouth-watering recipe back in 2005 as a creation for her own restaurant, Local Burger, and with special attention paid toward common food allergens, Hilary Brown cleared the table of all of the synthetic ingredients, leaving only the wholesome, the natural and the delicious to cook up something satisfyingly special. What are the ingredients used, you might ask? A delightful mix of quinoa, sweet potato, millet, onion, sunflower seed oil, arrowroot and a dash of other naturally beneficial gluten-free, dairy-free, GMO-free, corn-free, egg-free, soy-free, yeast-free and nut-free addition.
The ingenuity doesn’t stop with the burgers, folks. Along with a fantastic blog, the Hilary’s Eat Well website also features a fantastic recipe-generator where visitors can browse through recipe suggestions by checking off their dietary preferences, including gluten-free, dairy-free, GMO-free, corn-free, etc. We know, you’re starting to love Hilary already!

Whether it be their delicious burgers or tasty Veggie Bites, the commitment and enthusiasm toward healthy eating remains the same. Their certifications as vegan and gluten-free, winning Ashley Koff and Non-GMO Project approval, the Naked Food Award, as well as Woman Owned Business recognition only gives us a few more reasons to be proud and very excited to have their food on board!
