Pat's View: Burgers I have known
By Patrick Robinson
Hamburgers have been part of the human dining table for more than 200 years though their exact origin is a little unclear. In essence they are traditionally a meat (most commonly beef) with condiments between two slices of some sort of bun.They were meant to be a fast, easy convenience food. As with all foods widely known and enjoyed they have been the base for wild experimentation with countless variations.
The earliest burger I remember was from Lou’s in White Center and 19 cents got you a basic beef hamburger. Maybe two pickle slices, mustard and ketchup.
