Giant Hamburg

Reproduction of a sign that once advertised for Red's diner on old Route 66. Rumor is, the sign had to be shortened to avoid overhead utility wires.

Oooh how presumptuous of me, I just thought out loud and typed it in.

Down here when you go into a fast food outlet looking for a hamburger, you will usually find all kinds of hamburgers on the menu, these contain various extra ingredients above and beyond of a piece of mince meat inside a bun cut in half which is usually toasted. American fast food chains don't toast their buns, I seem to remember; last time I had one from an American fast food chain was in 1987 or 1988.

If you wish to have everything on offer, you just order, "one with the lot"!

Sorry about that.

Regardless, I still like it a lot.
 
Got it! Here we just say a hamburger "with everything" unless you are picky.
 
I remember my Dad's first impression of McDonald's in the 1960's. He wasn't impressed, he said "the only reason that McDonald's could get away with charging a quarter for the hamburgers was because they toasted the bun"
