The Blended Burger Project™ is a movement that strives to make burgers better by blending ground meat with chopped mushrooms, creating an

incredibly delicious patty that’s healthier for your guests and more sustainable for the planet.

In small town diners and metropolitan eateries, burger fans nationwide sampled and voted for their favorite blended burgers. Excitement for a new take on the iconic burger generated more than 2 million online votes this summer. The Blended Burger ProjectTM featured 349 restaurants, from 38 states, developing and serving their version of

a blended burger (made by blending at least 25 percent chopped mushrooms with meat).
