A burgerless burger, especially in Southern California, means a burger made without a meat patty. Unlike the vegetarian burger, not available in all fast-food restaurants, a "burgerless burger" is more widely available.
Some restaurants that serve burgerless burgers include:
* Cassell's, grilled cheese * Fatburger, skinny fats * Hodad's, cheeseburger without the meat ("Un-Burger") * In-N-Out, Veggie Burger (without cheese) / grilled cheese (with cheese) * Tommy's * Burger King, Veggie Whopper, not to be confused with their "BK Veggie" * Nation's Giant Hamburgers, Harvester
A burgerless burger can also be a burger made from a non-beef meat substitute because of fear of BSE, a.k.a. Mad Cow Disease. For example, some restaurants may call their BLT sandwich or ham & cheese sandwich a "burgerless burger". Vegetable based protein burgers offer a healthful alternative to beef burgers.
