So Monkey had her first burger from Pete's Burgers a while back. She LOVED THEM! The child is a bottomless pit sometimes! I whole one of Pete's Burgers with Ketchup, Hot Mustard and Regular Mustard.....the only thing missing ......onions. On the weekends we will make a special trip to the River, Prairie duChein WI, downtown they have a great shoe store and many other really nice stores and across from Starks (cheap, cheap liquor) is a small burger stand. Something you would see at the State Fair, maybe even smaller. Its family business that has been around for 125 years, yes that is right 125 years in the same spot in old Prairie duChein. The cook them in water and onions on a larger flat grill and serve them on bakery fresh buns. They open in late April and stay open until late Sept, and are only open on the weekends, believe me we have gone there on the 4th of July and they aren't open.
We love going to get burgers, sometimes you have to stand in line for an hour......yes an hour, but it is worth it as long as I walk up and down the streets going into the nice specialty shops that are open on Sunday for tourists. The guys stand in the long line in the hot sun, but it is worth every second! We take them down to the park that is right by the Mississippi River and eat them. Sometimes there is a flee market or hundreds of people dress up like old Indians and settlers (there is a lot of history in that town, its beautiful!!!)
Monkey loves them and so do her mommy and daddy, which makes me happy, I don't want to give up this tradition!!!
