I grew up less than a mile from the Burgermaster near Smelter. The ramp burger is still the greatest fast food item to ever be created. We make rough approximations at home to this day.
I haven’t been back to Great Falls in over a decade and ow.. with Burgermaster gone, I may never go back.

So, Great Falls has succumbed to the McDonaldsWendysBurgerKing virus like the rest of the so-called “civilized” world. The local burger joints usually had the best tasting burgers (in my case, Sandy’s and the Frostop in Billings in the ’70s), while the national chains weren’t bad, but not all that great, either.

Of course, around here (Mesa, AZ), the chains are staffed with high school kids to whom English is a second language (and that’s the Anglos — never mind the Mexican kids). I’ve had my orders screwed up so many times in the drive-throughs, I’ve taken to going inside hoping that somebody in management is on one of the order stations. (For the record, I take my cheeburgers with ketchup and mustard only. But I’ve been getting them with ketchup and Onions, or even worse, with mayo. It’s gotten to the point where I order them plain; it’s hard to screw that up — although they try.) It’s that, or go to Arby’s (and while roast beef sandwiches are good, it gets old in a hurry).

So… the meat and cheese and secret sauce is pressed and sealed inside the bread and then cut out – in the shape of a UFO, hence the “flying” burger? Like cow Uncrustables?

I hope everyone turned their engine off while waiting for an hour and a half Cap’n GreenPath wants to remind you that idling for more than 30 seconds is bad, if you’re getting zero miles per gallon. (Part of the propaganda we’re fed at work every day)
