The Blended Burger Project is Back!

The Mushroom Council and James Beard Foundation have teamed up for the third annual Blended Burger Project.

The Blended Burger Project is back and better than ever! The challenge launches Memorial Day and runs through July 31. During that time, diners can visit hundreds of restaurants taking part to create a more delicious, nutritious and sustainable burger. Each chef/restaurant will create and serve their unique spin on a blended burger: at least 25 percent finely chopped mushrooms blended with meat.

New this Year: Each time you vote for your favorite blended burger you’ll be entered to win an all-expenses paid trip for two to New York City!

Here’s how to take part in the Blended Burger Project:

1. Find and visit a participating restaurant near you and order the featured blended burger
2. Vote for your favorite burger online
3. Promote the #BlendedBurgerProject and your favorite burger through social channels

One randomly selected voter will win – so vote and vote often!

Chefs from the five restaurants with the most online votes will also win a trip to New York City to cook at the historic James Beard House.

Join us this summer for a delicious battle of blended burgers. Find a participating restaurant near you and let the burger eating begin!
