Belly Acres' Better Burger
Chef Rob Ray of Belly Acres in Memphis created this recipe as part of the Blended Burger Project™, a partnership with the James Beard Foundation that invites chefs to create delicious, nutritious, and sustainable burgers by blending mushrooms with meat. For his burger, Ray combines button mushrooms with beef for a juicy patty, and tops it with a zesty Ginger-Lime Mayonnaise and pickled summer squash, but feel free to top them with your own preferred pickles.
