1) Grilled Edamame Burger -- This is unexpectedly irresistible and not the same burger you see at every cookout.  Plus, your vegetarian friends will thank you for bringing some fresh flavors to the party.

2) Cajun Chicken Avocado Burger --  New Orleans meets California.  Grab a surf board, throw on some beads and you've got yourself a party.  This burger is summer through and through.  Did we mention the bacon?

3) Blue Cheese Inside Out Burger -- A big meaty burger stuffed with a creamy, savory bite of blue.  Cheese lovers rejoice!  It's like a homemade Hot Pocket -- but this bad boy is all beef.

4) Man Kitchen Salmon Burger -- That's right...it's salmon.  Fresh, filling, healthier and easy -- what's not love? Watch the Salmon Burger video.

5) Grilled Portobello Burger with Onion Jam -- Your vegetarian friends won't feel like an afterthought with this burger.  Chic, hearty...maybe even a little sexy.  Plus, portobellos won't break your burger budget.

6) Spiked Burgers with Beer Sauce -- Why take a break from your burger to drink your beer?  The Spiked Burger lets you have it all in one shot...

7) Tuscan Burger -- Take a quick 'staycation' to Italy with the amazing Tuscan Burger.  It's a beefy bite enhanced with crispy pancetta and creamy mayo on an Italian roll.  Try and resist!

8) Veggie Mushroom Burger -- This could be the perfect veggie burger (or at least, picture perfect).  Even carnivores will like this two-handed burger.

9) Chicken & Broccoli Burger -- And now for something completely different...

and the burger finale -- a top-secret recipe from in-house top chef, Spike Mendelsohn:

10) The Colletti Smokehouse Burger -- A secret peek inside Spike Mendelsohn's kitchen at his white-hot Good Stuff Eatery in D.C.  If you find a window when Michelle Obama isn't eating there, definitely try this burger with a hand-spun toasted marshmallow shake.  If you can't make it to D.C., this amazing burger is the next best thing.

Remember that with any of these burgers, you can make smaller patties and serve on rolls if you have a bunch of guests who are craving burger sliders or a mini burger...
