Mush Foods, the culinary innovator behind 50CUT, chef-ready mushroom and mushroom root blends for restaurants and foodservice, has partnered with meat purveyor Pat LaFrieda to launch the new LaFrieda 50CUT Burger. The first nationally co-launched burger made with 50CUT is a 6-ounce beef and mushroom patty. 50CUT is crafted from mushrooms and mushroom roots grown in upstate New York and is available to Pat LaFrieda's more than 1,600 restaurant and foodservice customers nationwide.
"Pat LaFrieda is an inspirational innovator and a visionary champion of up-and-coming partners that help expand and develop the meat category. We couldn't have asked for a more experienced and trusted partner to introduce our first 50CUT collaboration to restaurants, contract foodservice operators and chains nationwide," said Shalom Daniel, CEO and co-founder of Mush Foods. "The LaFrieda brand is synonymous with excellence and boasts a legacy of firsts, continually raising the bar and setting the direction for the entire category. I'm thrilled to have co-crafted this special blend burger now available to LaFrieda customers."
