They are coming in herds to eat this new specialty at a Saudi Arabian restaurant - camel burgers.

Instead of Five Guys, this is Three Guys; three Saudi brothers who wanted to do something unusual to
attract a clientele.

They came up with camel burgers and called their restaurant Roast Burger.

Camel meat is common fare in the Mideast, but the camel burgers are unique.

People who like the meat say it's light and isn't greasy.

And so the camel burgers have become a big hit.

The camel is a symbol of the Saudi desert and has been crucial to traders for centuries.

Now the camel has a new place in trade - the owners hope to grow and eventually franchise their business.
