## Story

“Our founder and Chief Culinary Officer, Keith Richards, continues to innovate and deliver creativity in our modern Mediterranean menu,” said Taziki’s CEO Dan Simpson. “These two new limited-time offerings are no exception. We are also very pleased to once again partner with the American Lamb Board and feature 100% American lamb in our delicious burgers.”

From June 12 to September 3, every location of the acclaimed fast-casual Mediterranean brand will feature a Southern-Style Lamb Burger and an Athens Cobb Salad on its menu.

The Southern-Style Lamb Burger is packed with two griddled-cooked seasoned American lamb patties on a toasted kaiser bun with spicy pimento cheese, sliced tomato and grilled red onions with a choice of side, starting at $12.49.

The Athens Cobb Salad is filled with fresh mixed lettuces, diced tomatoes, marinated garbanzo beans, crumbled feta, pickled red onions, crispy bacon and a sliced egg, topped with Taziki’s Greek Yogurt Ranch dressing, starting at $8.75.

“We appreciate Taziki’s commitment to using American Lamb on their menus,” said Executive Director of the American Lamb Board, Megan Wortman. “This new Lamb Burger illustrates how the distinctive taste of domestic lamb blends well with various flavor profiles. It’s a fabulous lamb burger with a southern twist.”
