MADISON, Wis. Wisconsin state lawmakers laid claim Wednesday to being the home of the hamburger.

The Assembly served up a proclamation stating that Charles "Hamburger Charlie" Nagreen of Seymour, Wis. started calling ground beef patties in a bun hamburgers in 1885. Seymour is about 10 miles west of Green Bay, the state’s oldest city.

Now that Wisconsin has been declared the HOME OF THE HAMBURGER, tell us where you go in this great state when you have a craving for one.

If you ask people around our city where to go for a great hamburger you would most likely hear about;

THE SPOT!

vs

BIG STAR!

LOL

It seems as if you either go to one or the other.

But actually they both have good burgers.

Even though I have yet had the pleasure of eating at Kewpee's in Racine they are suppose to be one of the best places to stop and eat a burger.

The Kewpee is famous throughout the midwest as one of the oldest and best hamburger restaurants.

If anyone get's to the Menasha area, you should check out the famous (or is that infamous?) Mihm's Charcoal Grill. The only place that I've ever got a butterburger that leaked through the wax paper wrapping. Greasy, yea. Fattening, defanatly. Deadly, very possible, but always an interesting burger!
