Burger, with everything

For writer Duncan Murrell, a burger is memory. “What is it we remember when we remember a hamburger? We remember what we were doing and where we were, and how it felt to be alive, right then. If that’s a happy memory, it’s a good burger. Simple enough in theory.” While we can’t agree that a hamburger is simply a blank slate for toppings, as he also asserts, we certainly appreciate his excellent essay on hamburgers from the June 2011 issue of Our State magazine. Enjoy.
