1/4 lb Swiss Mushroom Burger
A fan favourite, says Runza: a fresh, never-frozen quarter-pound patty with Swiss cheese, seasoned mushrooms and mayo. It is a modest, well-made mushroom Swiss without frills. There is also a Swiss Mushroom Runza and a junior burger version, which says something about how much Nebraskans like the combination.

About Runza
Sally Everett opened a runza stand with her brother Alex in Lincoln, Nebraska, in 1949. The runza was her family’s version of the bierock, a yeast-dough pocket filled with seasoned ground beef, cabbage and onion that Volga German settlers brought to the Great Plains in the late nineteenth century. Her son Donald began expanding the business in 1966, franchising followed in 1979, and the Everett family still owns it.
About 85 restaurants, almost all of them in Nebraska, with a few in Iowa, Colorado and Kansas.
