I tried the impossible whopper expecting to like it, but also expecting that I could easily distinguish it from beef. It turned out it was the opposite. It did taste like beef to me, but but it reminded me of a bad cafeteria burger made with inferior ground beef that was overworked.
Feel free to point me in the right direction if I’m missing a nuance here, but the impossible burger as it appears as a Burger King Whopper alternative is the worst “burger” I’ve ever eaten. I couldn’t even finish it. I like vegetarian patties and I like a good beef burger. The whopper variant had a strange rubbery smell and mouth feel.
I haven’t tried a national chain’s version. I have tried Honeybee in Los Angeles. I thought it was better than Beyond Meat patty but I do still like pure veggie patties too. https://honeybeeburger.com/
Try to find any local non-chain burger place that has it. It takes a little bit of skill from the cook to get it right from what I understand. I tend to agree it won’t replace your wagyu medium patties for sure but if you want just a general pretty good patty it’s impressive
