No one can deny how much America loves burgers<\/a>, but did you know there is so much more to them than just meat and a bun? Here are some unique variations on the American hamburger:<\/p>\n Named after the slang term for \u201cnickel\u201d which was the original price for a cheap burger during the war<\/a> and depression eras, this burger is mixed with flour and soy meal and fried for a crunchy exterior and tender insides. The soy meals helped extend the meat longer during those tough times. You can still find these in choice spots in Northeastern Mississippi like the Slugburger Caf\u00e9.<\/p>\n If you crave butter all the time, then you will love the butter burger originated at Solly\u2019s Grille in Wisconsin. Butter is soaked into the buns and onto the patties themselves.<\/p>\n If you ever find yourself in Salt Lake City, Utah, make sure you order a pastrami burger<\/a> at one of the many Greek diners or restaurants around town. Burger innovators there have added thin sliced pastrami, cheese and Thousand Island dressing to perfect their burger.<\/p>\n While some places on the East Coast, a California burger<\/a> simply means a burger with lettuce, tomato and onion, which is pretty much standard burger toppings, but on the West Coast a California burger means a burger with guacamole\/avocado.<\/p>\n This vegetarian alternative is a lot heathier than the meat burgers but just as tasty. The sweet potato and avocados give the burgers just the right amount of texture and taste to make your mouth water.<\/p>\n This is another meatless burger. The quinoa<\/a> is really good for you but tasty too. You definitely won\u2019t feel like you are missing out on anything.<\/p>\n Most restaurants have their own take on the American hamburger. From special sauces to different types of buns and toppings, they try to offer their customers something more than other burger restaurants.<\/p>\n Take for instance, Zac\u2019s Burgers<\/strong>. For the last 33 years, they have prided themselves on delicious made-to-order meals including their signature burger<\/a> with their unique wacky zacky sauce and friendly service at a reasonable price.<\/p>\n If you are looking to get into the burger business yourself, here are some reasons for joining Zac\u2019s Burgers franchise<\/a> program:<\/p>\n Tips for Getting Started in the Burger Franchise Business<\/strong><\/p>\n No matter which burger franchise you ultimately decide on, one of the most important things to decide first is to double check if franchising is really the best road for you to take. Franchising is not for everyone so you should be clear on what the pros and cons of taking this particular route to becoming a business owner before signing on any dotted lines.<\/p>\n Some of the pros are that you are given an already established product or service to sell allowing you to capitalize on the franchisor\u2019s brand name recognition and that you are offered a support structure and training to help you get your franchise unit up and running.<\/p>\n One of the cons is that you do not have complete creative control. You have to adhere to all the regulations agreed upon in the franchise agreement and you can\u2019t just make whatever changes you want. Often times you will have to buy your supplies directly from the franchisor whether or not you think you can get a better deal somewhere else. Plus, there is the financial burden. Besides the initial franchise fee to get started, you will also have to pay royalties and advertising fees.<\/p>\nA Slugburger<\/h2>\n

The more prepared you are, the best chance you have of succeeding.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
