Mushroom Steakhouse Burger will be on the menu at 2023 Pennsylvania Farm Show

The ground beef and mushroom-blended burger is topped with cheese, sauteed mushrooms and barbecue sauce, and served on a Martin's Potato Roll.

HARRISBURG, Pa. — The Mushroom Farmers of Pennsylvania booth in the Pennsylvania Farm Show Food Court will unveil a new menu item at next year's Farm Show: The Mushroom Steakhouse Burger.

"A bold, new take on the 2019 Farm Show’s No. 1 Food Item, this burger is a blend of 60% grass-fed beef with 40% fresh Pennsylvania Mushrooms to create a juicy, delicious burger patty," the MFPA said in a press release. "It’s served on a Martin’s Potato Roll and topped with cheese, sauteed mushrooms, and a tangy Alabama-style barbeque sauce. 

"A great burger made better — less fat, less sodium, more nutritious and lots of bold flavor!"

The Mushroom Steakhouse Burger will join the familiar favorites on the MFPA menu at the Farm Show, which will be held Jan. 7-14 at the Pennsylvania Farm Show Complex in Harrisburg.

Other menu items include:

  • RoRo’s Mushroom Salad: A longtime favorite, this 100% gluten free, vegetarian option is a bowl full of marinated mushrooms with chopped onion, celery, carrots and olives in olive oil and vinegar seasoned with salt, pepper and parsley.
  • Original Breaded Mushrooms: The best-selling mushroom item since 1978, with more than 6000 pounds prepared annually, the Original Breaded Mushroom are crispy, whole white mushrooms breaded in 100% vegetable oil, and served with ketchup and ranch dressings on the side.
  • Shredded Port Nachos: These are ‘nacho’ father’s nachos! This super snack includes 100% shredded Portabella mushrooms in a tangy barbeque sauce topped on crispy tortilla chips with cheese and drizzled with sour cream. No meat. No soy. All flavor!

"Full of powerful nutrients, mushrooms are increasingly being named as a must-have on healthy plates," the MFPA said. "They are a superfood; filled with a host of vitamins and minerals, and have little to none of the things you don’t want like calories, fat, sugar, salt, or gluten."

Mushroom aficionados will also be able to take some of their favorite fungi home with them if they visit the MFPA Food Booth.
