Grilled pineapple adds a sweet balance to these savory burgers. Serve them bunless or turn them into sandwiches. The pineapple caramelizes on the grill, making a sweet contrast to the savory teriyaki seasoning. We recommend cooking the burgers quickly on high heat. Make sure that they are cooked through, but don't overcook. And many people make the mistake of mashing the burgers on the grill when cooking them because it squeezes out all the juices. Serve these burgers with an Asian slaw or fresh fruit.
