If you think beef and blue cheese is a match made in heaven, this burger is angelic. A Harris Ranch beef patty is perched on a puffy, toasted demi-baguette and laced with layers of organic arugula, caramelized onions, applewood-smoked bacon and blue and Gruyere cheeses. Nothing overpowers; it all works in harmony. Can you hear the harps? $9.50

Pure indulgence, this one. Again with the fresh (never frozen) Harris Ranch ground chuck, which gets buttered before and during grilling to make it even more luscious. Go with classic toppings of lettuce, tomato and American cheese, or upgrade to Maytag blue for a buck. Everything sits on a hearty potato roll to sop up the juices. $7.95
