Burgers with a taste of history: frying oil has not changed for 100 years
Dyer's burger from Memphis uses butter that is over 100 years old. The secret recipe of the establishment is filtering and adding fresh butter, preserving the original taste since 1912.
The legendary Dyer's burger joint in Memphis has become known for its unusual approach to cooking cutlets: they are fried in oil that is more than 100 years old. Since 1912, the oil has not been changed, but only filtered and a fresh portion added.
According to legend, such a "secret recipe" appeared by chance when the staff forgot to drain the old oil. However, the customers liked the unique taste so much that it became the signature feature of the establishment.
After each shift, the oil is carefully preserved — there are now more than 10 buckets of historical fat in the restaurant's inventory. This allows Dyer's to maintain the special taste of burgers, which, according to the owners, cannot be found anywhere else.
The history of butter is not just a part of the recipe, but also a tribute to the traditions that have made Dyer's Burger an iconic place for lovers of unique cuisine.
