I often buy store bought veggie burgers as well. However, my taste is becoming more and more favorable to restaurant creations. I think that is why my taste of store bought brands is changing so much. I used to be all about the Boca - Garlic burger. Now I can barely eat it. It tastes so bland to me and the consistency is kind of weird (think hockey puck).
My current favorite store bought veggie burgers are:
-The original Gardenburger
-Morningstar Farms Asian veggie patties
-Don Lee Farms veggie patties (Costco)
-Amy's California burger
-Boca bruschetta burger
Side note: I used to get SO annoyed when restaurants started making their own veggie burgers and they weren't that great yet, but they'd call them Gardenburgers. I was fooled a few times thinking that is what I'd be getting was the brand Gardenburger. I'd explain to people (and nobody cared), that it was a brand name and was false advertisement to call it that and have it be their own concoction. It should just be called veggie burger.
It was a stupid battle that I ALWAYS lost, but back then it was so much harder to be a vegetarian when you went out to eat, so it was frustrating to be duped.
