One thing you could find in most small towns during the 60's was an A&W Drive-In. I grew up in a small town and A&W was the place to be seen on Friday Nights. Here is A&W's Papa Burger in the well known foil bag.
A&W® Papa Burger
1/5 pound ground chuck
1 large sesame seed bun
1/3 cup chopped iceberg lettuce
2 Vlasic hamburger slices
1 slice American cheese
Salt and black pepper, to taste
Papa Burger Sauce:
1 tablespoon Kraft mayonnaise
2 teaspoons Heinz hamburger relish (the red relish)
To Sauce:
Combine mayonnaise and hamburger relish in small bowl; set aside.
The Burgers:
Form each portion of beef into a patty measuring 5-inches in diameter and 1/4 inch thick. Place on waxed paper and freeze for at least one hour.
When ready to cook, preheat barbecue to a medium heat. Toast buns by placing face down on grill for about 1 minutes, or until lightly toasted.
Place frozen beef patties on grill and cook 3 to 4 minutes per side, until done. Season patties on both sides with salt and pepper to taste.
Place grilled beef pattie on bottom bun
Place cheese on beef pattie
Add lettuce
Place pickles on lettuce
Spread sauce on top bun and place on sandwich
Wrap each sandwich in a 12 X 12-inch square of foil and warm in a preheated 200 degree Fahrenheit oven for 2 to 3 minutes, or place in microwave and heat for 10 seconds (wrapping in microwavable plastic wrap)– just long enough to warm the buns. Serve hot.
