BURGER BROTHERS - ST. LOUIS, MO

EVERYONE AND HIS BROTHER WANTS A BURGER

 Looking up the origin of burger, there is no set originator.  There have been many claims of this creation.  Many have been discounted because it was served on toasted bread instead of a bun, or it was a made of pork instead of beef.  Another says it originated in Hamburg, NY, thus Hamburger but claims also mentioned Hamburg, Germany.  So, your guess is as good as mine who developed that first burger.  Probably the caveman but across the U.S. mention of the burger went all the way back into the 1800's.  However, the first chain of restaurants that sold burgers was White Castle, which started with a stand in 1916 in Kansas and developed into what it is today.  All I know is that you can get some type of burger pretty much anywhere from a small diner to an exclusive restaurant.

Today we paid a visit to River City Casino.  I wasn't that much into gambling but was starting to get hungry, so I thought I'd try Burger Brothers.  So, what goes with a burger.  First thought burger and fries and then maybe burgers and beer … so, ya think that's what I had.  Burger, fries and a beer.  Nope, I ended up with a Chicken Sandwich Fries and PBR for $14.00 which is probably a little high after writing about White Castle but I did mention I was in a casino and they'll get your money one way or another.  Although, I can say it was probably one of the best Chicken sandwiches I've had.  The fries were fries and you'd think I could say the same of the beer.  I mean beer is beer, right?  That was my first reaction after seeing that a "Bud Light" was a buck more and that's the main reason I choose the PBR but I was wrong.  I guess I was wrong for choosing anything but BUD in St. Louis in the first place, but I definitely could tell the difference in taste and I will no longer deviate from my first choice because of cost because there is a taste difference.  But, maybe I need to try Miller Lite since their slogan is "Tastes Great … Less Filling"
