- <p> When you're hungry, what could be better than a mixture of
- mushrooms, onions, oats, brown rice, low-fat cheese, egg
- whites, bulgur wheat, walnuts and seasonings pressed into a
- patty and baked? Almost anything, you say? Not according to
- assorted Hollywood celebrities and health-conscious residents
- of Portland, Ore. They're all fans of a meatless competitor to
- the hamburger, called the Gardenburger. Developed by Paul
- Wenner, president of Portland's Wholesome and Hearty Foods
- Inc., it packs half the calories and one-fifth the fat of
- ordinary hamburgers.

- <p> Gardenburgers are not meant to taste like Big Macs. "We
- don't put in artificial hamburger flavor," says Wenner. "The
- Gardenburger is its own experience." The burgers have sold well
- in such outlets as the Hard Rock Cafe chain (where they cost
- $7.95), Sheraton Hotels, Disneyland and Portland restaurants
- (where they go for $2.95). Wenner expects to sell 8 million
- patties this year.
