Burgers are the ultimate comfort food for many Americans. However, a burger means different things to people across various states. From Minnesota to Wisconsin, here are five local burgers that will make a trip down worth it!
Juicy Lucy
One of the most famous burgers, Juicy Lucy is just like the name suggests, extremely juicy. Hailing from Minneapolis, the burger’s highlight is the cheddar cheese-stuffed patty. The invention of this burger is an ongoing debate, with some saying it came from Matt’s Bar while others saying it’s from 5-8 Club. Either way, this deliciously cheesy dish is not to be missed!
Theta Burger
Customer service in Oklahoma was on a whole other level in the 1940s. After a series of complicated delivery orders by a sorority, the restaurant turned their order into an honorable burger. This burger is topped with shredded cheddar, BBQ sauce, mayonnaise, and dill pickles.
Butter Burger
This burger originally hails from Wisconsin and is probably the greasiest burger on the list. For this dish, the buns are soaked in butter before grilling, while the patty is made with butter in it, and cooked with a pat of butter on top. Your arteries might not like this one in the long run, but your tongue definitely will!
Frita Cubana
Also referred to as Cuban hamburgers, this is a very famous dish in South Florida. The burger is made up of a thin patty that is seasoned with paprika. It’s topped with spiced ketchup, onions, and potatoes.
California Burger
This burger has some hearty flavor and is also healthy. The California burger is made with guacamole or avocado, as well as bacon in it. Just like California itself, the burger is an eclectic mix of cultures. This burger is also a favorite of Arnold Schwarzenegger. So if it’s good enough for The Terminator, we think it’s good enough for everybody!
