For the third year in a row the James Beard Foundation is going to sponsor The Blended Burger program. This program encourages top restaurant chefs to blend mushrooms with their burgers, coming up with unique recipes that will taste great while being healthier. Over 700 chefs have competed in the 10 week long competition over the past two years. The chefs create their new mushroom and hamburger dish, then register online by submitting a description and a photo. The chefs then start serving their new dish and encourage their customers to vote for their burger online. The voting runs from Memorial Day through July 31. The foundation promotes healthier eating and sustainable food practices by using the mushroom, because they are nutritious and utilize low resources to grown. The mushroom burgers are good for the people eating them and good for the planet.
