On the way home last night I stopped by McDonald's for a quick snack, before supper. I ordered one of their new Onion Swiss Burgers.
One bite out of that thing and I was transported to the backside of the Old Salem Speedway grandstands before the storm came through back in the 70's.
Best I can remember the Salem Volunteer Fire Department used to set up a big old steel plate for a grill just at the bottom of the center stairs going up into the grand stands. They would cover that old slab of steel with onions and throw the hamburgers on top of the onions and make some of the best hamburgers that I have ever eaten. I guess It wasn't too sanitary but the combination of burnt onions, just the right amount grease, ground beef and a little tire dust mixed in for flavor served on a slightly soggy bun from the grease made one of the best burgers ever cooked in the old US of A.
I sure have missed these burgers, guess they wouldn't work well at the new Sanitary Salem.
If any of you guys know the burgers I'm talking about stop by MickeyDees and try one out, you will be surprised.
If you are old enough to remember them>>> only do one!!
they play hell on your digestive system.
