Greek food and grilling...that's what hooked me on cooking. I grew up with the elder generations cookiing Greek food all the time. This burger came from a "knock on the head/lightbulb" moment when I was in Minnesota visiting a friend a was introduced to a Juicy-Lucy which is a Minnesota staple and has the cheese cooked into the burger patty! It is like greasy, cheesy, gooey greatness!!! I wrote down the base for this burger on the flight home and have worked on it a few times making changes until I came up with this recipe. I've made this on a grill and in my small NYC apartment kitchen so space is not a problem.
