    The only thing bigger than Bobby Flay's ego ( and its gigantic, was the marinade taste on this lamb.

    Only a few brave people dared these "lamb burgers" over the traditional burgers at out 4th of July, but those who did were ecstatic. Wonderfully unique, try them with some feta or goat cheese.
