My wife taught a business class using the Beyond Meat company as one of the examples. We got a costco box of beyond meat patties to check them out and I cooked and served them (just to the family). They reminded me of a puck of cat food when frozen/de-thawing. Smelled weird cooking. Then for just the time I was eating, came really dam close to a real burger. But no one had any desire to reheat any leftovers. My opinion was they are close, but the concept needs a bit more work. I also think they might be better in a restaurant setting as it's kind like sausage, it's best not to know the process and just enjoy the finished product.

We also have a Next Level Burger in our local Whole Foods we occasionally eat at and if they added Beyond Meat to the menu I don't think I would order it over the other vegi patties they already serve...
