Deluxe 1/6 lb. Hamburger & Cheeseburger
Braum’s everyday burger: a sixth-of-a-pound beef patty with lettuce, tomato, pickles, onions, Braum’s sauce and mayo on a sesame seed bun baked in the company’s own bakery. Add cheese and it becomes the cheeseburger. It is a modest-sized, fresh-tasting burger that leaves room for the real reason many people come: the ice cream.
The story
Braum’s will not open a restaurant more than about 330 miles from its farm in Tuttle, Oklahoma, and the whole company is built to make that limit make sense. It runs its own dairy herd, milk plant, feed mill and bakery, so the milk in the shake, the cheese on the burger and the bun under it all come from the same business. Almost no chain of this size still does that — vertical integration went out of fashion decades ago — and the driving distance is what keeps it possible.
