On Monday, Mar. 4, WETA’s “Signature Dish” TV show will feature one of the newest vendors at the miXt Food Hall in Brentwood.

In an episode on “Food Hall Finds,” host Seth Tillman will have a mushroom burger from vegan vendor Mush DC at the popular food hall.

The eatery, which opened in 2022, uses mushrooms as an alternative to meat for vegan meals that are all organic and soy free, including vegan versions of a chicken sandwich, a Vietnamese bánh mì, a jerk barbecue sandwich and a steak-and-cheese version.

Chef Tarik Frazier and business partner Alex Hamilton told the Hyattsville Wire that they started the restaurant to show there were meat alternatives aside from opti0ns such as the lab-created Beyond Meat and Impossible Burgers.

Frazier previously ran a private chef service and worked at Kith/Kin and American Son,

Previous episodes of “Signature Dish” have featured Route 1 restaurants: Hyattsville’s Chez Dior, Riverdale Park’s 2Fifty Texas BBQ and Mount Rainier’s Pennyroyal Station.
