America loves its chains. Especially when that chain involves burgers, drive-thrus, or anything else that gets us something to consume as quickly as possible. But did you ever wonder where each American restaurant chain originated from?

In case you haven’t heard… Regular cheeseburgers just aren’t American enough anymore. In fact, if you don’t place at least one slice of bacon on your burger, you could be labeled a communist. True story.
The ‘Merica Burger, by Slater’s 50/50 in San Diego, is here to help make you feel like a patriot, with bacon involved in every component. It includes an all-bacon patty, bacon cheese, and a bun soaked in bacon grease. U-S-A!!

‘Merica loves its booze. But have you ever wondered what the most iconic liquor brand from each US State is? No? Well, look at Red, White, and Booze by Thrillist anyway — it’s pretty cool. Did they get your state right?
Show your patriotism with every flip of the burger with the Star Spangled Spatula. Designed to look like the stars and stripes — the spatula is stainless steel with American Walnut handle, and it’s hand fabricated by Lamson and Goodnow. Perfect for your 4th of July BBQ, or Flag Day. We hear Flag Day can get nuts.
