We have Dyers. They have a big pan of grease they claim has never been emptied, since the 1950s. They take ground beef and roll it into baseball sized balls. When an order is placed, they take them and flatten them with a
spatula and drop them into the grease. When they float they are done and the
cook dips them out and lays them on a bun. You can feel your arteries
clogging, but boy they are good!
