Lamb Burgers Make Their Mark In California

Yolo, Solano, Napa, and Sonoma counties have long been known for their lamb and most any time you make a drive across the valley floor from the Sacramento River, heading west through Winters and over the hills on Highway 128, on through the Wine Country, you'll see grazing sheep and lambs as part of the landscape.

What is more recent is the appearance of lamb burgers on the restaurant- scape and we've recently had the pleasure of sampling them, beginning at Broderick Restaurant and Bar in West Sacramento, the Buckhorn Steakhouse in Winters for another version, and on to Healdsburg for another take at the Michelin recommended Bistro Ralph on the plaza.

All the burgers were thick, over the top delicious, each with a different flavor profile and condiments, and all on soft, brioche-style buns.
