Pizza Burgers Pizza Burgers were fun because we could add our favorite pizza toppings. Ken likes loads of pepperoni and Patti prefers sautéed mushrooms and spinach.

Western Bacon Cheese Burger Pizza Our Western Bacon Cheese Burger Pizza was another perfect marriage because one of us wanted pizza and the other had to have a western bacon cheeseburger.

Blue Lamb Burgers Blue Lamb Burgers, our friend Nancy doesn’t eat beef. So, we suggested the “other red meat”. She’d never had lamb so she was pleasantly surprised by how lean it was and that the flavor was much stronger than beef, too. We added her favorite blue cheese and served them medium rare.
