Steak Salad with Blue Cheese Dressing & Crumbles

This sort of deconstructed iceberg wedge salad uses steak in place of bacon. Also, I recommend using a home made salad dressing which makes a big difference! Find it in the Ingredients Section below.

Read MoreCauswells' Americana Burger
/The Americana Burger at Causwells is really something special. Local, fresh meat is ground daily and IT... IS... GOOD! Cooked to perfection, two patties are each topped with a slice of gooey American cheese. Top that with some of Causwell's own sauce, lettuce and pickle — all set within a soft but sturdy sesame seed bun and you've got burger greatness! And, by the way, all this is served next to a generous pile of scrumptious, perfectly fried onion rings. Oh yeah! If you at all like burgers, do yourself a favor and check this one out.
