“From a chef’s perspective, mushrooms are a culinary gift, offering more creative potential and versatility than just about any other vegetable. They add flavor, texture, and enhance the overall visual appeal of whatever food they are paired with. And in doing so, they increase the inherent level of “cravability” of the dish. When done correctly, this can make the difference between the ordinary and the extraordinary.”

“As a chef, I love using fresh ingredients to create delicious and memorable meals for my guests, friends and family. For this reason, I choose to use mushrooms when cooking not only for their delicious flavor, but also because I feel that I have a responsibility to preserve our food source by incorporating sustainable ingredients like mushrooms. I am a blenditarian because blending mushrooms with wagyu beef allows me to create a healthy, delicious and sustainable burger.”

“The blended burger is the wave of the future. With more hungry people entering the world every day, there needs to be a way to provide food that is healthy, sustainable and delicious to an ever-growing population. By incorporating the abundant mushroom with a crowd favorite animal-derived protein, umami characteristics are instantly elevated as is the overall moisture content and holding ability. Fat is cut by at least 30% and several health benefits enter into the mix simply by adding mushrooms. Most importantly, the blended burger tastes great and is good for you! Simply put, the Blended Burger Project™ embodies healthy, sustainable and delicious in perfect balance and we wanted to be a part of this ground breaking movement.”
