"I believe that the great American hamburger is a thing of beauty, its simple charms noble, pristine. The basic recipe--ground beef, salt, and pepper, formed into a patty, grilled or seared on a griddle, then nestled between two halves of a bun, usually but not necessarily accompanied by lettuce, a tomato slice, and some ketchup--is, to my mind, unimprovable by man or God. A good burger can be made more complicated, even more interesting by the addition of other ingredients--like good cheese or bacon.....relish perhaps, but it will never be made better." - Anthony Bourdain, from the chapter entitled 'Meat', in his book Medium Raw.

The Prairie Schooner (Ogden, UT)

The Prairie Schooner is an Ogden institution. I mean, where else can you dine while seated in a covered wagon? All circled up around a campfire and cheesy stuffed animals (Oh look, a bear!).
















The Hot Hamburger is served on grilled sourdough bread and smothered with mushroom gravy. The gravy on the fries is optional. All for $7.95.



















The Prairie Schooner calls their hamburger the Trail Blazer. Again, the gravy on the fries is optional (but highly recommended!). This cheeseburger costs $8.50.
