In Our Crosshairs: Wichita, Kansas

Just found this post on a board at Radio Gods Forum:

a hamburger today: but somehow they've missed Wichita so far. Elitist wine-sipping Gotham pigs...

Podunkboy [yes, that's the handle he posts under], never fear. My parents are moving to Wichita in a few weeks. I'll be visiting in December. Wichita will no longer be ignored by AHT. In fact, we hear you've got some fantastic burgers there. Can you recommend any?

oh, no, they did it for hamburgers, too. [radiogodsforum.com]

In researching my forthcoming book, "Hamburgers: A Cultural History," I've determined that, as best as can be proved, the hamburger as we know it was invented by Walter Anderson in Wichita KS in 1912.

For those wondering where to get a burger in Wichita: TJ's Burger House - 1003 W Douglas Ave (get the chili burger!) Ty's Diner - 928 W 2nd St. Takhoma Burger 803 N. West St. or 816 S. Broadway Oasis Lounge 4121 W Maple St When in Wichita, ask around -- there's a lot of good burgers in town, and everyone has a favorite. Most of the good ones are west of the river for some reason.
