Butter Burgers

Cultural Context

Originating in Wisconsin, Butter Burgers are a regional specialty that celebrates the rich flavors of beef and butter. Traditionally, a generous pat of butter is melted on the burger as it cooks, enhancing its juiciness and flavor. This indulgent approach has made Butter Burgers a beloved choice in diners and backyard barbecues across the United States, with many variations emerging that include gourmet toppings and specialty cheeses.
