Your Grill Wants This Hamburger Recipe
Rye Farmers Market is OPEN Sunday, 7/5 from 8:30am-2pm. Find fresh summer foods, including produce, fish, meat, breads, pies, & more.
Happy July 4th weekend, everyone! The Rye Farmers Market will be open this Sunday, July 5th for all your outdoor grilling wants and needs. The market meets every Sunday on Theodore Fremd Avenue, in the parking lot behind the Purchase Street stores.
New in 2015: The market has added a wonderful fish vendor: Joseph Fisheries! Be sure to stop by and meet Michael Sr. and Eileen Decker, the parents of Michael Jr. As a child, their son was a fishing prodigy if ever there was one -- have them tell you a story about him while you shop for fresh sea scallops, clams, mussels, along with a great variety of fish. Michael Jr. still spends his days at sea, and now he’s teaching his 4-year old boys how to go clamming. The family tradition of fishing continues to thrive...

Put ground beef, mustard, garlic, onions, blue cheese, water, egg, and a sprinkling of salt and pepper into a large bowl. Use your hands to gently mix ingredients together. Do not over-mix. Shape into patties, about 1/2 inch thick and larger than your bun. Chill until you are ready to cook. Prepare charcoal or gas grill for cooking over medium heat. Make sure grill is hot and well oiled before laying down the patties. Season patties with salt and pepper. Place the patties on the clean grill grate. Grill the burgers for about 7-9 minutes per side. Do not press down on the burgers while cooking.
