The Thrill of the Grill

It's been a long, cold winter in many parts of the country, but summer is just around the corner. Memorial Day is a great excuse to gather round the grill and celebrate! Everybody loves steak, but if your budget only stretches to burgers, don't despair—top your burger buns with one of the delicious suggestions we've described below.

In fact, why not have a platter of several different kinds of patties, with buns and toppings on the side so that everyone can build their own "custom" burger? Sliced tomatoes and onions, lettuce leaves and cheese are all trusty burger standbys, but you can expand the flavors options with unexpected seasonings, like Kikkoman's spicy new condiments, Wasabi Sauce and Sriracha Sauce.

• There's always someone who says, "If it's not beef, it's not a burger." For those folks, take ground beef from ordinary to extraordinary with slivered sun-dried tomatoes and Kikkoman Teriyaki Baste & Glaze. These Sun-Dried Tomato Burgers are great on the grill and broil beautifully, too.
• If beef's not your thing, try turkey. French Onion Soup Burgers  feature cheese-stuffed ground turkey patties seasoned with Kikkoman Roasted Garlic Teriyaki Marinade, topped with sautéed onions. Ooh la la!
• For the vegetarians in your crowd, Hearty Bean Burgers are sure to satisfy. Kikkoman Black Bean Sauce gives an exotic twist to canned chili beans in a healthy burger that even meat-eaters will love!
• Don't feel like firing up the grill? Simply coat juicy boneless chicken thighs with Kikkoman Kara-Áge Coating Mix, pan-fry and pop them on burger buns. Sliced avocadoes and sriracha tartar sauce top off these crispy Kara-Áge Chicken Sliders.
