Wisconsin's messy addition to the world of burgers is called the butter burger. For some, the butter burger is authentic when combined with ground beef butter.

The one thing everyone can agree on is that there should be enough butter, this will usually create a small pool of butter on one's plate. One theory says the name comes from a place called Solly's in Glendale, Wisconsin, which has been in business since 1936, where butter is added to the meat, meaning it's also fried in butter and served with boiled onions. A mainstay of greasy food in Wisconsin, the butter burger may not be good for one's health, but it certainly satisfies one's hunger…  ENJOY YOUR MEAL
