Blended Burgers Now Featured In Chef'd Meal Delivery Kits

Redwood Shores, CA  – The Mushroom Council today announces a new way for consumers to enjoy the innovative blended burger in their own kitchens. The five winning burgers from the 2016 James Beard Foundation’s Blended Burger Project are now available on chefd.com for burger fans to purchase and enjoy at home.

The Blended Burger Project encourages building better burgers by blending meat with mushrooms to create a more delicious, nutritious and sustainable burger. Now, in partnership with Chef’d, a first-of-its kind meal kit marketplace, fans of the blended burger can learn how to make them at home by receiving recipe instructions and all of the pre-portioned ingredients needed.

“Meal kit delivery services are quickly becoming strong culinary influencers and educators,” said Bart Minor, president and CEO, Mushroom Council. “It’s our hope that consumers who have loved ordering blended burgers at restaurants will now see how easy it is to make a blended burger at home.”
