| Best Veggie Burger |
| Hungry International |
| As more and more converts are discovering every day, ya don't need a cow to make a delicious burger. And no one knows that better than Hungry's. Their veggie version can go head-to-head with those patties o' flesh any day. Hungry's starts with a toasted whole-wheat bun, dabs a little mayo on it, and tops it with a tasty black bean burger flecked with bits of corn. Then the decadence begins. The patty is stacked with a litany of delectables: more black beans, smoky provolone, ripe avocados, leafy green lettuce and pico de gallo studded with jalapeños. This outrageous masterpiece is accompanied by your choice of sides, and we recommend the perfect skin- on fries. It's enough to make a cow moo in agreement.

| Hungry’s Café & Bistro |
Hard to believe, but Hungry’s Café & Bistro now is almost 32 years old. No restaurant stays in business that long unless it provides great food, in a pleasant atmosphere and at moderate prices – and that just about defines Hungry’s. Of course, large portions are part of the package. Hungry’s Café & Bistro has two locations – Rice Village and in the Memorial area. The Rice location is a warm, casual restaurant with a friendly atmosphere that sits back in a lovely tree-surrounded street. For a diverse array of salads, sandwiches, innovative healthy entrées and indulgent desserts, they use first-class ingredients, fresh produce and premium chicken – because they believe that “Positive Eating = Positive Living.”
