"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.

El Matador (Ogden, UT)

Who goes to a Mexican restaurant to get a burger?  S. does!
















S. loves the homemade sauce that comes with the burger (similar to thousand island) and the hand cut fries.  So tasty!

Maddox Drive-In (Perry, UT)

At the Maddox Drive-In, you order while in your car from a car-hop.


















They bring you your food on a tray that you can hang from your window (or bring inside, like we did because it was raining). So old fashioned and so much fun.



















The turkey burger with fries.....and of course, fry sauce!
