KCCI Archive: Enjoy a 1-pound 'Papa' burger from a legendary Iowa tavern
Yeah, it's not everyone's vision of paradise. But for some monty's tavern and Williamson Iowa is as close as they'll ever come here. You can shoot *** little pool, join in *** friendly game of cards, even pick up *** can of spam and if you have *** large enough appetite, you can find the biggest, if not the best cheeseburger in these parts. This little tavern is known far and wide for its burgers are made with *** half pound of hamburger there, just like mom used to make. That's because mom is often back in the kitchen helping cook the customers. Just keep coming back for more. They're fantastic. If you're really hungry or feeding *** football team, you can have Monty fix you up with one of his papa burgers. That's one full pound of meat on. Especially made bond, essentially *** loaf of bread then smothered with onions, pickles and ketchup. Oh my God, you've got the whole cow. I think I could probably bring *** wife and kids and we could all eat on one of them. Monty usually sells around 30 of these gut busters *** week. One guy would actually sit down and eat two of them. Monty's tavern may not be everyone's vision of cheeseburger paradise, but at least you can get *** taste of it here, dana carton with an eye on Iowa in Williamson
