In anticipation of summer, Taziki’s Mediterranean Café recently announced the launch of the Lamb Burger. The brand joined forces with The American Lamb Board to offer the new burger, made with 100% American Lamb. The new offering features two griddle-cooked, seasoned lamb patties on a toasted kaiser bun with feta cheese, sliced tomato, grilled onions and peppers, and Taziki sauce.
“We’re excited to put our unique Taziki’s twist on the current lamb popularity boom,” said Taziki’s CEO Dan Simpson. “We know customers are looking for a hearty summer meal, and the Lamb Burger is the perfect comfort food. We can’t wait to see everyone’s reaction to this delicious burger and look forward to giving away some amazing prizes!”
