Mushroom Council and Martin's Potato Rolls Partner for Tailgating Blogger Promotion

    SAN JOSE, CA, October 26, 2017 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Martin's Famous Potato Rolls and Bread and the Mushroom Council team up for a blogger tailgating promotion featuring a new Mushroom Blend Meatball Slider. The slider is the ultimate game day food. The meatball is a mix of ground meat with finely chopped mushrooms, which takes on the texture of the meat, also known as The Blend. The meatball patty is then smothered in marinara sauce and Italian cheese, all wrapped up in a Martin's Party Potato Roll. The slider is a great choice for game day because it can be prepared in various stages ahead of time. The blog outlines the detail of the preparation.

"The Mushroom Blend Meatball Slider is fantastic," states Bart Minor, president of the Mushroom Council. "We are excited to partner with Martin's Potato Rolls for this tailgating promotion. It helps the Council promote The Blend and Martin's to promote their famous potato rolls. Retailers can also cross promote both mushrooms and Martin's Potato Rolls at the store level."

The featured blogger site, the Self-Proclaimed Foodie developed by Krissy Allori, also features a recipe round-up of other delicious tailgating recipes and ideas. Consumers can find a variety of recipes from Coffee Rubbed Burgers with Dr. Pepper BBQ Sauce to Hawaiian Sloppy Joes plus much more. A link to both Martin's Potato Rolls and the Mushroom Council's Blenditarian website can be accessed through the blog at selfproclaimedfoodie.com/mushroom-blend-meatball-sliders/. Martin's also featured this recipe using The Blend and several other tailgating-style mushroom dishes on their own blog, highlighting September as National Mushroom Month.

To further enhance the blogger promotion, there will be an active consumer component through the Mushroom Council's consumer blog posts, eblasts to the Mushroom Lover's List, and postings to loyal Pinterest board followers, Instagram, and Facebook postings.
