The Mushroom Council’s new sponsorship of the James Beard Foundation’s 2019-20 Taste America® culinary pop-up series will take the blended burger to cities nationwide over the next several months for local tasting experiences.
Now in its seventh year, Taste America is a 20-city culinary tour, giving food lovers across the country an opportunity to have a unique dining experience while learning more about the impact of their food choices from passionate leaders who are changing the landscape of the food industry.
As a Taste America patron sponsor, the Mushroom Council said it will present blended burger tasting stations at select market events, featuring area chefs developing and demoing their own version of The Blend.
The Mushroom Council unveiled its sponsorship in New York July 24 as part of Taste America’s kickoff event at Tribeca 360° featuring media, influencers and other food lovers.
At the gathering, Chef Fiore Moletz (pictured), chef/owner of Burgh’ers Brewing in Pittsburgh and two-time winner of the James Beard Foundation’s Blended Burger Project restaurant competition, served his blended burger to guests. The Council’s burger station also celebrated this year’s fifth Annual Blended Burger Project with signage highlighting the participants from all 50 states.
