PrintDyer's Hamburgers; Memphis, Tennessee
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!

Hi. I really like your blog, especially this post. There is something both repulsive and intriguing about these burgers.

Some of these hamburgers are just a bit too exotic for me but this is a very cool website, I really enjoy reading it... and looking at the pictures!

Thanks, Valerie! Yes. There is something repulsive and intriguing about these burgers. I reallly want to try one, though. Thanks for stopping by! Zebra: I don't know if "exotic" is a word I'd use for deep-fried burgers, but I know what you mean. Some of them are a little too much!
