On a recent trip to Reno for a basketball tournament, we had dinner at one of our favorite places - the Silver Peak Restaurant and Brewery - twice! The lamb burger with feta cheese and Greek olive tapenade was so delicious I ordered the same thing both nights. On the way home I stopped to pick up some ground lamb so we could make it again for dinner at home. Three lamb burgers in one Memorial Weekend. Hmmm ... it must be good! Give it a try.
