A Wisconsin lamb and Highland Spring Farm beef blend forms the basis of this hearty patty, topped with red onion jam, mint, feta and arugula for a tart welcome to spring.
Patty melt

Quarter-pound grass-fed beef patty from Jordandal’s own farm, served on rye bread “grilled cheese”-style, with cheddar cheese, bacon aioli and caramelized onions.
Orchard burger
Steenbock’s on Orchard, 330 N. Orchard St.
Steenbock’s uses Strauss Free Raised grass-fed beef in its Orchard burger. Wisconsin’s own Roelli Red Rock cheddar blue tops the patty, along with bacon, red onion, tomato and garlic aioli, all on a brioche bun.
