There's more than a few places that would like to claim the title of  "Home of the Hamburger", but no one makes a better case than the town of Seymour in the state of Wisconsin.

In 1885 a kid of 15 called Charlie Nagreen was selling meatballs at the Outagamie County Fair. They were popular enough with the locals but they weren't that portable, so Charlie hit on the idea of squashing them, putting onion on top and slapping them between two slices of bread. He named his creation after the Hamburg ground beef favoured by German immigrants in his hometown of Hortonville.

For the next 65 years Charlie sold his hamburgers at fairs all over Wisconsin while his creation went on to conquer the world.

Likewise, there are plenty of places that would like to claim the title of  "Home of the world's best burgers". Charlie may have had a century's head start, but here at Burger Wisconsin we think we've cracked the perfect combination of fresh ingredients and handmade sauces and patties cooked to perfection. While our name is a tribute to Charlie's first stroke of genius, we hope we've made enough innovations of our own to give him a run for his money.

Ali says he missed his favourite burger, Burger Wisconsin.
He missed our burgers so much he had to resort to getting 2 burgers and blending them up so he could drink them through a straw.......he prefers his burgers unblended.
