Burger Man
Question: What happens when you combine history with heart attacks?
Answer: You get the International Burger Hall of Fame
Located in Daytona Beach, Florida, this shrine to sweating meat was the brainchild of "Hamburger" Harry Sperl. A German native, Sperl decided that cultural life in America was much in need of a hefty shot of cholesterol to the arm. As a result, he opened the Burger Museum, which contains over 1,000 hamburger-related items, ranging from waterbeds to motorcycles.
Some may think he's one slice of cheese short of a Double Swissburger Deluxe Flatliner Special, but I believe we should be embracing the burger with open, spatula-like hands, not shunning it.
Coming next week, look out for The Museum of Fried Chicken Shaped Like Slightly Rude Body Parts, and a new online exhibit called "Presidential Kebobs".
