麻豆影院

础苍测听Iron Chef fans out there?听CU 麻豆影院 has partnered with the to bring former Iron Chef America contestant and runner up for The Next Iron Chef听Jehangir Mehta听to campus on April 11 and 12.

Mehta will perform two cooking demos and discuss the benefits of meat/mushroom blended burgers. He will even teach you how to make one of his favorite blended burger recipes鈥擳he Graffiti Burger! (Because, trust us, you have to learn how to cook eventually.)听

Sustainability is an important issue for both University of Colorado as an institution and for Dining Services. If you have not听noticed yet, all on-campus dining facilities (except for the Alferd Packer Grill) serve a meat-mushroom blended burger and not the more traditional pure beef burger.

There are a number reasons for having a blended burger, but the most important aspect of these burgers is the impact they have on creating a more sustainable dining culture here on campus. Mushrooms are one of the most sustainable foods grown in the United States, particularly when you compare their water usage to that of beef.

On average, meat-mushroom burgers are 24 percent听lower in fat and 27 percent听cheaper than all-beef burgers, according to National Public Radio. If the statistics haven't convinced you, most people actually find that a meat-mushroom burger is much more flavorful than a traditional burger!

Join Chef Mehta Tuesday, April 11, at the Village Center Dining or Wednesday, April 12, at听the C4C dining center to judge for yourself and learn more about food sustainability.

Students can also bring their own blended burger recipe to the event.听Dining Services will pick their favorite student-provided creation to make and serve in the dining centers for a day; plus,听it will be submitted to the .
