What do NYC restaurants use these days to fill out or replace ground beef?

I ate at a NYC group restaurant tonight that has a special pasta price for Mondays. I don’t normally eat there but was ravenous. I’ve been cooking at home all my life and have made a gezillion bolognese sauces as a quick dinner. What I ate tonight was not remotely beef or any other meat. It had a texture that was not meat like. Almost grainy? (Almost like how ground rice feels in a larb?).It didn’t taste like any low or high grade of beef to me either.
I hate making a fuss, so I didn’t ask at the time, but called after and the manager said even when I pressed what else might be in it .. “100 % beef”

Any thoughts, thank you!!

I’m looking for any recommendations for any therapist/psychologist who is in nyc or NY state that is experienced or works with people who have Fibro.

I’d be so grateful for any suggestions. I know it will help if there are some stressful things I can work on with someone.

Thanks all!
