Take cattle raised in a "stress-free" organic environment, slaughter them humanely, grind the beef fresh daily and you end up with a sensational-tasting burger. "Our favorite is always the mini-burger, because it’s so basic," says Lena DiGenti, branding and communications manager for Plan B. "Just the burger, the cheese and the bread, so you can really taste the quality of the meat." Plan B serves more than 1,000 pounds of burgers every week.
