I uncovered more vegan burger options  then I could have imagine when building the 20 Vegan Burgers To Try in San Diego map for Eater. It seemed a shame to not share the full list for those who swim in the deep dark waters of the restaurant scene (or have a lot of friends and family that drag them to non-vegan-friendly spots). So here it is.

For photos and descriptions of the top 20, check the Eater map and help drive up views (and demand) for vegan content.
