  • Downtown Jefferson is filled with small, locally owned businesses, and perhaps the smallest of them all can be found on the corner of Racine and Center streets. At just eight feet by eight feet, Wedl's Hamburger Stand is 64 square feet of hamburger heaven.

      Yes. They don't cook them at super hot temps. It's basically stewed in juices and fat for ten minutes.

      ​@debbiebuxton2854 here in Kentucky you can buy lard in a 3 lb. bucket to cook with, plus I save all bacon grease after frying bacon & pour it in a mug, & store that in the fridge , works for beef, chicken, pork such as pork chops, etc... I hope that helps you out, God Bless

      I grew up in and around PdC from 1947 - 1957 - A Pete's burger was a must at least weekly during the summer. Have taken friends there, and my wife and her mom, on day trips, even though I now live in Milwaukee. It's only a 6 hour round trip for a burger from heaven! I have also had burgers from Wedl's several times when driving Hwy 18 to Madison and back ( I don't like freeways, too sterile, no scenery or small towns). I prefer Petes' Burgers hands down.

      The reason they burger is grey is because it is almost expired meat that needs the lard to cover the flavor of decay and disease. No wonder they need to grind or "regrind" the meat daily.

    If they grind 100 lbs. of beef & yield 800 lbs. hamburgers that is an 8 to 1 ratio which means the burger is only 2 oz. & they look bigger than that, I'm not sure if that info is correct as they look like they are at least 3-4 oz. burgers

I highly doubt that the stupid town has 800 smucks willing to spend $8/ day on a burger. Wisconsin is not a rich state and the town this stand is in is even less wealthy.
