Here\u2019s an old-fashioned hamburger relish recipe that combines 3 simple, easy-to-find ingredients. The end result is a relish that enhances \u2013 not conceals \u2013 the flavor of the burger.<\/p>\n

\"Old-fashioned<\/p>\n

There are a million different ways to zhuzh up a hamburger. And there are thousands and thousands of fancy, over-the-top hamburgers on restaurant menus all over the world.<\/p>\n

But what about the old-fashioned burgers? The ones that have been around forever, that are most delicious in their simplicity.<\/p>\n

I\u2019ve recently become interested in the history of hamburgers. Yes, the history of hamburgers.<\/p>\n

I\u2019m hooked on YouTube videos telling the stories of old hamburger joints and highlighting long-standing hamburger restaurants across the U.S. that haven\u2019t changed their menus in nearly a century.<\/p>\n

If you\u2019re into food history, <\/strong>check out the Hamburger America<\/a> documentary.\u00a0<\/p>\n

As it turns out, the old hamburger joints really prove that sometimes, less is more.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\"Ingredients<\/p>\n

I was lucky enough to grow up near one of the oldest hamburger shops in the Midwest:\u00a0Nick\u2019s Hamburgers<\/a> in Brookings, South Dakota.<\/p>\n

Nick\u2019s opened in 1929. My grandparents used to eat there in the 1930s and beyond. And my family has been eating there ever since.<\/p>\n

Their menu is small: Hamburgers, cheeseburgers, pie, and shakes. My usual order is 2 hamburgers with their homemade relish (more on that later), a bag of chips and a small glass of chocolate milk.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\n<\/blockquote>\n

Their burgers are small \u2013 slider sized. The beef is cooked in tallow (I believe\u2026 they won\u2019t divulge their cooking secrets!) and the burgers are served on fresh, soft bakery buns.<\/p>\n

Personally, I don\u2019t think you\u2019ll find a better burger anywhere.\u00a0<\/p>\n

And let\u2019s talk about that burger relish.<\/p>\n
