Today, Sonic Drive-In introduced a new burger created in partnership with the Mushroom Council, the Sonic Signature Slinger. QSR Magazine detailed that the one-of-a-kind burger is made with 100-perfect pure beef blend, mushrooms and seasoning and starts at just 350 calories. The menu addition capitalized on the rise in mushroom consumption due to the vegetable's many health benefits.
“The Signature Slingers is a first-of-its-kind fast food cheeseburger, which delivers the juicy savory deliciousness you expect from a burger in a way that makes you feel like you’re getting away with something,” says Scott Uehlein, vice president of product innovation and development for Sonic. “Adding mushrooms right into the burger patty amps up the incredible flavors of the 100-percent pure beef and seasonings you get in each bite. This burger truly raises the bar for every other restaurant.”
Guests can enjoy the burgers beginning Monday, March 5.
