Mary Had A Little Lamb Burger: Hubbard Inn Serves A Gourmet Take On The Classic Burger

Whether you prefer classic condiments and traditional toppings or would rather go the adventurous route, the hamburger is the epitome of quintessential American cuisine. At Hubbard Inn in Chicago's River North neighborhood, Executive Chef Bob Zrenner experiments with new flavor combinations and local ingredients to create a gourmet twist on this old favorite.

Hubbard Inn's Lamb Burger features the highest quality of ingredients and nixes traditional beef in favor of Wisconsin-based Pinn-Oak Ridge Farms locally raised lamb. The toppings are Mediterranean-inspired and add a tasty balance to the juicy patty, with additions such as mint, cucumber, red onion, feta and Tzatziki sauce.

"Something as simple as a burger can be greatly enhanced by substituting traditional ingredients with something new," says Chef Zrenner. "The use of lamb adds a sweet and savory flavor profile to the patty, while the creamy notes of the feta and Tzatziki sauce perfectly compliment each bite."
