fast food restaurant Culver's.[1][2] Many restaurants in and around Wisconsin serve butter burgers.[3]

History

In 1885, Charlie Nagreen served hamburgers fried in butter, at the Seymour fair, inventing the precursor to the butter burger in the process.[4] The butter burger was popularized by the restaurants Solly's Grille and Krolls' beginning in 1936.[1] Hamburger historian George Motz has posited that Solly's is (as of 2018) one of what he called the last "real" butter burgers left, in that they use butter as a condiment and add up to three tablespoons of it on top of each hamburger.[5]

Culver's, which was founded in 1984, butters the top bun, as opposed to the patty itself.[6] In 2009, Steak 'n Shake introduced their "Wisconsin Buttery Steakburger", including Wisconsin butter and American cheese.[4] In 2015, Jack in the Box introduced the “Classic Buttery Jack”, a butter burger with garlic herb butter melted onto the patty.[4]
