    A man grilling burgers and hot dogs.

    Dino has a skill for making delicious mixes for hamburgers. I don't think he ever makes the same mix twice, but whatever he does, it always turns out delicious!

    We decided to fire up the grill for Mother's Day, so he made a batch. I watched as he was mixing it up this time, and this is what he came up with (amounts are approximate).

    I topped mine with extra sharp cheddar (that he melted on while it was on the grill), tomato, raw onion, dill pickles, mustard, mayo and ketchup, and had baked beans on the side. Yum!

    Specially Seasoned Burgers

    It may seem like a lot of seasoning here, but the flavors play so nicely and really make the beef shine.
