Its origin is controversial. The burger supposedly originated in the early 1900s when a man in Texas stuck a Hamburg steak between two slices of bread. Did the Texan know he would change the course of history? I imagine he did - as a decisive act to give America its most iconic meal. Maybe he was just in a rush and needed a way to eat his steak and bread fast. Either way, we will never have a full account of what happened that day, but we do have the burger and with it, we can do great things.
These are far from your average backyard hamburgers. The ground beef combines with miso and scallion then the burgers get browned and glazed with a combination of mirin and tamari. Cucumbers also cook in the sweet-salty sauce for a delicious burger topper. No other condiments needed! Sweet potato fries dusted with a sesame-nori mix called furikake are the perfect companion. Cook, relax, and enjoy!
These chicken patties are filled with flavor, texture and color: softened and slightly sweet onions, sautéed spinach and chunks of feta. But we couldn’t stop there.

It’s all the sauce you’ll need to make this a truly delicious chicken burger. Cook, relax and enjoy!
