Hello All 

With all the good weather lately it appears a grilling recipe is in need. Per request, here is my dad’s Horseradish Burger recipe. I do have to give special thanks to my friend and grill master Dan Mikalian who lent me his grill and grilling expertise this past weekend and to my dad for the recipe. To all: enjoy the good food and good weather this weekend.
