At one time, Bury's operated 11 York-area restaurants. The last one closed in 1986, but their sauce-covered burger has continued to be offered at Johnny Eagles' stand at the York Fair.
I wrote an account of my first Bury's hamburger enjoyed at the 2007 York Fair in the York Town Square post: Bury's burgers: Nostalgia on a bun.
The burger, soaked in a special tomato sauce, is an icon around York County. It's only available once a year - when the fair comes to town.
But for those who can't wait a year, try this recipe: The quest for Bury's secret hamburger recipe continues.
