Goober Burger? (Wheel Inn, elsewhere?) - Thu, 10/15/09 12:28 PM ( #1 )

I have always wanted to try a good Goober Burger. I know the original was Wheel Inn, which as I hear was closed but has reopened elsewhere.

I also just found this one from My Sister's Place in Minnesota:

I added my own peanut butter to my burger at Al's Place and I enjoyed the Elvis Burger at the Vortex in Atlanta but does anyone know other great places to try a true Goober Burger?

What's that gob a goo?

That's peanut butter! A Goober Burger is with peanut butter (and mayonnaise, although I think I'd have that on the side). Here it is on Bizarre Foods.

kennyb, yeah the original close but apparently an employee opened another one recently:

I'd love to hear what you think of the place if you make it out there.

Yep. Mayonnaise.

Eminent domain is a bitch. Well let us know when you do!

Here is an old thread about Wheel Inn closing, including a link to a newspaper article concerning the new place. http://www.roadfood.com/Forums/tm.aspx?m=323615&high=sedalia
