Best of Metromix Cleveland: BURGER
It all started as a sandwich with a cooked patty of ground beef that became an American favorite. Who knew something so simple could spawn a plethora of creative ideas for a meal. The toppings, condiments, seasonings, sizes, names … Legend has it a pair of Ohioans, Frank and Charles Menches, started these juicy, mouthwatering "sandwiches." Chances are there are just some burgers that make your mouth water, carrying on the tradition in a delicious way.
