  The World's Greatest Hamburger

  For many years, a family restaurant chain, known as Lum's
  sold an exceptional 1/3 pound hamburger that was second
  to none. These fantastic burgers were also to be found at
  a Lum's spinoff called Ollie's Trolleys.

  Unfortunately, due to the bad management of the parent
  company and the repeated selling of the restaurants, the
  chain virtually disappeared. There are a few Trolleys
  around and a handful of restaurants where you can still
  purchase this burger.

  However, these few remaining businesses have failed to
  live up to Ollie's own strict standards of preparation
  that he personally drilled into my head and they allow
  their customers to 'have it their way'.

  So, in honor of Oliver G. Gleichenhaus, I present to
  you, the one, and the only Worlds Greatest Hamburger

  In a large measuring bowl, add all dry Ingredients
  together by hand. DO NOT INHALE MIX as the dust is
  very overwhelming.

  In a separate bowl, mix liquid ingredients together
  until well mixed. Carefully add to dry ingredients and
  slowly mix by hand. Cover and refrigerate for 2 hr.

  For bun sauce, mix all ingredients and refrigerate for
  2 hr as well.

  When preparing an Ollieburger, place a 1/3 lb burger in
  prepared marinade and allow to soak for 15 min.

  Place on a 2 sided grill (such as a sandwich grill) and
  cook until Medium Rare.

      Title: The Ollieburger - Part Two
 Categories: Beef, Chilies, Herbs, Sauces
      Yield: 1 Servings

           Continued from PART ONE

  Serve with a slice of Mozzarella cheese on a seeded bun
  with bun sauce top and bottom, and a garlic pickle spear.

  Potato chips are optional.

  AND NOTHING ELSE IS NEEDED.

  This is how Ollie wanted it, and this is how I present
  it to you.

  Discard any remaining sauce after the day's preparation.

  A little footnote.

  This recipe was created using a small sample of a
  commercially prepared seasoning mix.

  As you may or may not know, commercial mixes are
  pulverized to protect any proprietary secrets a
  company may have. Therefore these may not be the 100%
  exact ingredients, as owned by God-only-knows-who.
  Also, prior to Lum's buying Ollie's recipe, there was
  no written recipe. Ollie tossed together whatever
  ingredients he had handy in his chop shop.

  The commercial recipe was a collaborative effort between
  Lum's and their spice vendors.

  The creation of the recipe you see today was prepared
  over a period of 7 years. I was assisted by the late Rich
  Loy, of Lexington, Kentucky. Over that period we
  painstakingly made hundreds of batches in order to dissect
  the secrets of 'the sauce'.

  The final test was made and perfected shortly after Rich
  passed on. This last batch was the closest that anyone,
  outside of the secret holder, had made in taste and
  consistency.

  Like the late 'Ollie', Rich was a character in his own
  right. I miss both, very much.

  You will also find that this is a very expensive marinade
  to make, unless you maintain a stock of all ingredients.
  For those who can still buy it, you know why it costs you
  between $7 and $9 dollars per burger.

  Try this recipe, and you'll know why it's worth it!
