Our grill-tested favorites, just in time for the (unofficial) kick-off of summer.

Beef
Summer's most wanted. Start with our new Prime Dry-Aged Beef Burger (or your favorite beef), grill it to your liking, then top it with the classics—sharp cheddar, lettuce, tomato, red onion, pickles, ketchup, and bacon, if you're feeling it. Bread pick: sesame seed bun.

Veggie
The "green" option. Make your own with your favorite veg, or opt for our ready-to-grill options for ASAP eating. Top with avocado, tomato, red onion and hummus, for an extra juiciness. Bread pick: brioche bun.

Turkey
When you're craving a burger but want to eat a less fatty meat, turkey hits that savory spot. Choose turkey that's not too lean, then top it with fried onions, jalapenos, and BBQ sauce to make the whole combo sing. Bread pick: toasted sesame bun.

Bison
Did you know? Bison is higher in protein and lower in cholesterol, fat, and calories than the traditional beef patty. Basic is the way to go here: grill it to rare or medium rare (bison is so lean you don't want to overcook it), then top it with ketchup and mustard. Bread pick: Ciabatta roll, the better to contrast with the tender bison.

Lamb
Take a trip to Greece with this burger alt. Our local grass-fed lamb is well-marbled, and has a deeper flavor than beef, so it can stand up to seasonings and spices better than any other meat. Top it with a mix of olives, feta cheese, sun-dried tomatoes, arugula, and yogurt- cucumber sauce. Bread choice: toasted pita.
