Mushrooms in the News: 02-19-2020

The CNN story from last week continued to gain recognition, appearing on The Kitchn and MSN with mushrooms being labeled as grocery “celebrities” and “the most popular item in the produce aisle.”

Local Arkansas burger chain, Big Orange, was featured in a segment on Northwest Arkansas ALIVE. Scott McGehee, executive chef, shared with viewers the blended Umami Burger as a healthier burger alternative.

In trade, Restaurant Business included mushrooms as a flavor to look out for. The article explains that “mushrooms’ meaty flavor and juicy texture have made them favorite meat substitutes and enhancers,” with a nod to the blended burger.
