Kimmie and I went on the "Slug Burger Trail" Monday and Tuesday. Now for those that don't know what a Slug Burger is here is a good explination.
From Wikipedia.....
John Weeks brought his hamburger recipe from Chicago to Corinth in 1917. Weeks had his hamburger meat ground to specification by local butchers, which included potato flakes and flour. These small hamburgers were originally called Weeksburgers. Sometime before 1950, soy grits replaced the potato and flour and has remained the primary extender. According to town legend the term "slugburger" comes from the slang term for a metal disk the size of a nickel that would work in vending machines.
At one time, five of the Weeks brothers were selling Weeksburgers in the south end of Corinth. They were John, Dave, Cord, Bill, and Fate Weeks. Fate, the youngest brother, also had a dozen different hamburger stands that he ran. He started working for his oldest brother John in 1919. In 1947, he purchased an old trolley car for $100 and converted it into a cafe. During his career, Fate Weeks converted four trolley cars into hamburger joints. His last trolly was located in Booneville Mississippi. As of the fall of 2016, his son, Willie Weeks, was still selling Weeksburgers from a portable building cafe in Booneville.
Now that the Slug Burger has been explained, here is only two trails we went on we still have three more to go
