Sorry, never heard of them...
Never heard of a Slugburger.
But it sounds suspiciously like every cheap fast-food burger I've ever had.
Did more research, found this:
The Slugburger Trail: 20 places you can find this regional treat in AL, TN and MS | AL.com
Have to see if Chillinfish has tried the one in his town.
No idea where you could find one near OBA, we have a place here in mid TN that was fashioned after old school Mississippi burger joints that serves them. They are made of pork instead of beef with a lot of soy meal mixed in-I believe the idea was to make a really cheap burger. They're not bad, I like a good cheese burger much mo' better.Quote:

Easy to make, just mix bread crumbs, ground oatmeal, rice flour or potato flour into your burger/pork. Season, add an egg & hand mix. Make into patties and fry.
Almost just like making meatloaf except you make a burger.
I have had Penn's and Willie Burger's just make your own. Just add bread and hamburger meat and deep fry. Add onion and mustard on a small bun. Just take out of the grease and on the bun.
Sounds like my kind of trashy food. Really does sound like fried meat loaf, and I'm a fool for meat loaf. And most anything fried. Or with lots of salt and butter on it.
Or bacon, don't forget the bacon...Quote:

Absolutely! Dub's uses very fatty ground beef mixed with oatmeal. A burger "all the way" has mustard, ketchup, dill pickle and slaw. Back in the day there were the sticky fly traps hanging from the ceiling. It certainly added to the ambience. The Greenhaw family also owns Creme Delight in Athens. Both are pretty awesome.Quote:
