    Don’t have time to “build a better burger”…Then let’s talk about Wichita’s own Freddy’s Frozen Custard and Steakburgers with the namesake and spokesperson for Freddy’s, the one and only Freddy Simon.  www.freddysfrozencustard.com

    Wichita, Kansas was already a historical landmark in the hamburger’s march to prominence, and home to WWII veteran Freddy Simon. From his home kitchen, Freddy used to treat family and friends to his personal recipe of an American classic he called “the steakburger.” This savory creation became far more than a Simon household sandwich. Nearly 50 years passed before fond childhood memories of this dinnertime delicacy inspired Freddy’s sons to make the steakburger the foundation of their restaurant named after dear ol’ dad. It was the most appropriate meal they deemed worthy enough to precede their other big attraction-frozen custard.
