From the Harbor to the ‘Shark Tank’: Meat the Mushroom will Debut its Vegan Bacon on the National Stage

Baltimore couple Marvin and Aleah Montague recently went on national television to introduce people to their vegan mushroom bacon. On Friday, you can see how they did.

Shroomacon is the flagship product of Meat the Mushroom, the meat alternative-creating company the Montagues founded in 2021.
