Now Playing: The Pennsylvania Fluff Screamer!

Burger: Pennsylvania Fluff Screamer
Region: Girardville, Pennsylvania
Story: Tony Fulginiti opened Tony’s as a lunch counter in the 1940s after WWII. It was bought in 1975 and expanded to a full-sized restaurant. Ironically, Tony’s is no longer open for lunch, but it does open at night and operates until after midnight, with peak hours sometimes not hitting until after midnight.

Tony’s Lunch had a popular burger, The Screamer, that was a simple burger slathered with their house-made spicy chili sauce. There was a frequent patron who was a teenager that came in day after day ordering the Screamer with a twist. She would always ask that they use the marshmallow fluff used in their hot chocolate on the Screamer. She would ask every day, and every day she was denied. That is until Tony’s Niece took her order and finally gave in. Once the persistent teen bit into the burger, the rest of the guests had to try what she had concocted. The rest is history, and now The Fluff Screamer is a top-selling burger at Tony’s Lunch!

The Build: The classic build of the Fluff Screamer contains a hamburger patty, raw onions, spicy chili “screamer sauce”, marshmallow fluff, optional cheese, and a pat of butter.

BP Spin: We smash our two fresh all beef patties on the flat top, those will be piled onto our toasted potato bun, layered with melty American cheese, we then pile a healthy helping of our house-made spicy “screamer sauce” sauce on top of the patties. Finally, we add a healthy dollop of marshmallow fluff, followed by a spread of cool butter on our top bun! This is Halloween burger form!

Scary enough for you? Think you can take down a Pennsylvania Screamer? Luckily this October is filled with delicious b**rs and BOOze that are perfect for the season to cool you down after you bite into this frightening smash!

Eat, Drink, and Be Scary!

Cheers,
The BP Boo Crew

We're Open For Lunch!

Happy Labor Day! How about a tasty Oklahoma Theta Burger for the Holiday? Available as a lunch special (Theta Burger, fried, and a soft drink) for $12.99 from 11:30 AM - 2:00 PM.

Story: Ahhh, the refreshing Regional Burger origin story- never a consensus to be found! As almost all Regional Burgers go, the origins of this burger aren’t certain. Some attribute the origin to a grocery store in Norman; George Motz, author of Hamburger America and The Great American Burger Book, attributes its origins to Ralph Geist, owner of Town Tavern at the corner of Boyd Street and Asp Avenue in Norman. Others credit Split-T restaurant in Oklahoma City (owned by Johnnie Hynes, who later opened Johnnie’s Charcoal Broiler, which is still operating today - and yes, you can get a Theta Burger there).

Wherever the burger got its start, it seems everyone agrees that the burger was named after the Kappa Alpha Theta sorority. Variations of the story all agree that the sorority would frequent [fill in the blank] and order a burger with sauce, mayonnaise, pickles, and cheese and after several years of ordering the Theta Burger was born!

The Build: It’s a simple burger build, and the secret is all In the sauce! Start with a fresh beef patty, on the top bun (not toasted), sliced dill pickles, mayonnaise, signature hickory sauce, and a heaping pile of shredded cheddar cheese!

BP Spin: Of course, we’re smashing this puppy! Smash two fresh all-beef patties on the flattop. Those patties are placed directly onto house-made pickles and house-made aioli on the bottom bun (no toasting here!). Shredded cheddar cheese is generously piled on top of each of the hot patties to melt. Finally, the burger is doused with our own house-made hickory sauce and the top bun is added to complete this masterpiece!

The Oklahoma Theta Burger is available all September long, and nothing washes down this burger better than a half liter of Paulaner Oktoberfest Bier!

“T-T-H, T-H-E-T-A, Think Theta!”

Cheers!
