The lamb burger. Something about it seems so outrageously over the top. Indulgent. The Magnum Ice Cream of the burger world. And something about it is just so right. It makes you want to pull out all the stops. Dress her up and take her out on the town. It makes you want to get spicy and fire up all the flavors for the full mouthfeel experience.
For this creation, I was heavily influenced by a burger I had down in Cambridge MD by the head chef for a gastropub. Mediterranean flavors really accentuated the whole flavor profile and brought this together in an unexpected way. A little hummus, fresh veggies, and herbs and this became more than a gluttonous fatty meal. It became something all together different.

You tell me.
