Dyer's Hamburgers; Memphis, Tennessee

Posted by Adam Kuban, January 19, 2007 at 12:33 PM

Here's a fun one from the mailbag ...

Dear AHT: Dyer's Hamburgers in Memphis TN featured on Food Network cooks there hamburgers in a skillet with ancient grease. When they moved from their old location, they actually had the Memphis Police Department escort the grease in a padlocked trash can to the new location. Do a search and check it out. One day the manager looked up and saw Tami Fay Baker at the order station... —Mike, Montross, Virginia

Funny you should ask, Mike. AHT parent site Serious Eats featured a video of Dyer's excerpted from our friend George Motz's excellent burger biopic Hamburger America. I'm going to present it here. Enjoy!
