Burger Day on Route 66
By Linda Tancs
The fried onion burger was invented in the Route 66 town of El Reno, half an hour west of Oklahoma City. And they celebrate that fact in a big way each May at Burger Day in Historic Downtown. That’s when scores of volunteers cook the “World’s Largest Fried Onion Burger.” Measuring over 8 feet in diameter and weighing more than 850 pounds, this record-setting burger is cooked fresh on a massive griddle and served to attendees. Come hungry, and enjoy the festivities including classic cars, live entertainment and local vendors. This year’s event takes place on May 2.
