Chorizo Beef Burgers with Green-Chile Mayo

For Chuck Hayes

"Chuck Hayes made Blake Griffin look human."

from Official site of The Houston Rockets

A defensive machine rallying to tire Blake the complete game. Who else but Hayes could come back play after play to continue to bother, wear down and take away from Blake's game.  A true gentleman with solid game ethics who wins my heart with every amazing play.  Chuck enjoy this hearty burger to refuel your tired legs. Loaded with beef, chorizo and pepper jack cheese for a spicy kick!
