butter burger

Patty with spread

A butter burger is a hamburger cooked with butter or served with a pat of butter on top, associated particularly with Wisconsin and Midwestern diners.

The butter melts into the meat and bun, adding richness: We stopped at a roadside stand for butter burgers and cheese curds.

Culver's restaurant chain popularized the term nationally.
