Thomas Skaggs, the creator of a wild mushroom specialty burger was picked as The Cheesecake Factory's glamburger contest winner.
The Champaign, Ill.-based champion will have his recipe featured on the national eatery's menu for a year and win a vacation to one of six destinations, including Austin.
The winning creation is showered in portabella, shiitake, and crimini mushrooms; caramelized onions, red peppers, gruyere and swiss cheese with a demi-glace. The burger was picked from 30,000 entries and 63,000 votes.
Cheesecake factory founder David Overton and Vice President of Culinary Development Robert Okura chose five finalists earlier this month, and the public voted on the winner via the company's website.
