The Ultimate Fried Mushroom Sandwich
We’re told mushrooms are magical, but did you know that they’re also the perfect fried chicken substitute? It’s true. Unique clusters of oyster mushrooms provide tons of surface area for our Crispy Coatings to adhere to. As a result, when the mushrooms are fried, they develop a satisfyingly crunchy texture on the outside while remaining tender and juicy on the inside. Land them with a fresh brioche bun and pair with a slather of sweet and tangy sauce to easily rival the best fried chicken sandwiches around.
