Loaded A.1. Stackburger
A steakhouse burger at an ice cream stand. Thick A.1. sauce and a creamy peppercorn sauce with thick-cut bacon, American cheese and crunchy onion rings. It is savoury, peppery and much heavier than the DQ name suggests. The onion rings are the best part.
The story
A.1. is older than the hamburger. Its base is a brown sauce created in 1824 by Henderson William Brand, a chef to King George IV, and sold in London from 1831 as a condiment for fish, meat and fowl. The popular story says the king called it “A.1.”, but the term was Lloyd’s Register’s rating for a first-class ship, and the sauce was only renamed A.1. in 1873, after a trademark dispute. It was registered in the United States in 1895, marketed there as A.1. Steak Sauce from the early 1960s, and is now made in North America by Kraft Heinz.

About Dairy Queen
Dairy Queen opened in Joliet, Illinois, in June 1940, selling soft serve that its founders had perfected. For most people it is still the Blizzard place, the thick blended ice cream served upside down to prove it will not fall out. But Dairy Queen has sold burgers since the late 1950s, when a franchisee in Georgia created the Brazier line of broiled burgers and hot dogs.
More than 7,000 locations, most of them in the US and Canada. Owned by Berkshire Hathaway.
