#PopCultureHistory Dean Martin & Frank Sinatra submitted their burger recipes to the 1967 Celebrity Cookbook compiled by their equally famous friend Dinah Shore. As you’ll see, the ingredients and cooking instructions on their entries were coordinated by the two Rat Pack members to generate a laugh.
