MorningStar Farms® Gives Summer Dishes a New Twist; Showcases Them at Festivals Via 'Good Food for Good Times' Mobile Tour

BATTLE CREEK, Mich., June 19, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- As summer festivals kick into gear, MorningStar Farms® is stopping at local celebrations across the country to show how easy it is to create flavorful meatless meal options perfect for any occasion. From San Francisco to New York City, the MorningStar Farms "Good Food for Good Times" tour will give festival goers a chance to taste the brand's new offerings, including the Roasted Garlic and Quinoa Burger, as well as other favorites like the Spicy Black Bean Burger and Buffalo Chik Patties. Those who try these tasty samples will be surprised how simple it is to make good choices with more than 30 meatless food products and 600 recipes MorningStar Farms has to offer.

"We're traveling across America on the 'Good Food for Good Times' tour to show consumers how our tasty vegetarian cuisine is the perfect base to create any meal."

To inspire the summertime meatless dishes, prominent local chefs from Food Network's "Chopped" and "Next Food Network Star" will demonstrate their fresh creations that feature MorningStar Farms products at select tour stops in Chicago and Philadelphia.
