SOUTHEASTERN NC Chef Bud Taylor often thinks back to his childhood when burgers were the most simple, deliciously appealing meal: two 4-ounce patties, grilled with crispy edges, and topped however the local gas station or bowling alley served them best.
“Every little mom-and-pop grocery store or general store and gas station had a grill, and each one of them had their own interpretation of that burger,” Taylor said.
