Very Good...... Easier to grill if you form on to a cookie sheet and pop into the freezer for a few min.

Yum!

These were so nice for something different on the grill! I preferred the cucumbers on the side and topped the burgers with endive and wasabi mayo from Trader Joes to save time. Also, I'd suggest decreasing the teryaki a bit, as the burgers were a little too soft/mushy to work with on the grill.
