Best Ingredients
because you like to know what you're eating
For your burger buns at Burger Wisconsin we
use our own recipe of Sourdough bread, using
Olive oil, Rye, Semolina plus reduced
salt and no added sugar.
Sourdough is known as the King of breads. Its
production dates back to 1500BC and was most likely one of the
first forms of bread making. Sourdough was very popular during the
California gold rush, the mascot of the San Francisco 49ers is called
'Sourdough Sam'.

Where did "barbecue" come from
The word "barbecue" may have come from the French phrase "barbe a
queue" (from whiskers to tail, the term refers to the original
method in which a whole animal was cooked on a spit over an open
fire), or the Taino Indian word for their method of cooking fish
over a pit of coals "barbacoa". Another source says that roast
mutton in Romanian translates into "barbec." So there are several
accounts that vary on the true origins of the word.

Burger Wisconsin gives back, by feeding the homeless
 At our recent Conference Franchisees wished to
give back to the community by feeding
homeless people in Wellington.
From our Brooklyn store, with help from Franchisees from other
Burger Wisconsin restaurants, and from Father Des Britten (City
Missioner) and the City Mission we delivered
over 100 burger & fries meals to the Sisters of Compassion soup
kitchen, the Night
Shelter.
As well as reducing the effects of our footprint on the planet,
Burger Wisconsin (as part of the local community), believes we
should also support those in our community who have trouble
supporting themselves.

Quote of the month
"Grilling, broiling, barbecuing - whatever you want to call it -
is an art, not just a matter of building a pyre and throwing on a
piece of meat as a sacrifice to the gods of the stomach."
James Beard 'Beard on
Food' (1974)
"All normal people love meat. If I went to a barbeque and there
was no meat, I would say 'Yo Goober! Where's the meat?'. I'm trying
to impress people here Lisa. You don't win friends with salad."
Homer
Simpson in 'The Simpsons'.
