Exciting Day with KUTV 2-News & Executive Chef at Dixie State College

Ladd Egan, announcer with KUTV 2-News and World's Oldest Hamburger                 Ladd Egan, with Mike Stephen, cameraman, spent Friday morning, filming the World’s Oldest Hamburger in its native habitat and recorded the story about it's inception.    13 Year-old Burger with six competitors only 2 days old.                 Mike commented that in his 10 years of filming stories, this was the “craziest” he’d ever done.    I have to say it was just a hoot being filmed and interviewed by these two professionals.   It should be a really fun story to watch.   They even had me find the original “coat in the closet” where this burger stayed undiscovered for the first couple of years.                  After a couple of hours at my home...

Back From Hollywood!

-By David Whipple        World's Oldest Hamburger arrived back in St. George, Utah Thursday, after a week-long stay in Hollywood, California at CBS-Paramount Pictures.       It was filmed for an appearance  on the Show, The Doctors with Dr. Travis Stork, to air within a couple of weeks.  Featuring, "How Long Do Things Last?"       This was the first plane trip for this hamburger, and seems to have survived rather well.              Only a couple of minor chips fell off the bun. In human years, this hamburger would be over 5,000 years old.  The Big Mac tin really protected it (pictured below).    We are calling this hamburger-tin “The Sarcophagus” for this “Mummified Burger”.      The taping of the show went crazy!!!  All the doctors wanted a part in the action, including a special guest from the TV show ...

Dave & Bev Whipple 2012 People ask why I ended up with an old hamburger… why I would even keep it!                 I purchased this McDonald’s hamburger for .79 cents back on July 7, 1999.    The hamburger, with the receipt, in its original wrapper, and sack, ended up in a coat pocket, which then ended up in a closet and there it stayed for a couple of years.                  One day Bev was cleaning out old cloths to donate and found this McDonald's hamburger, still in the bag.   Busy r aising seven kids; she put the burger back on a shelf to ask me about it later, which didn’t happen.                 Five years latter one of my kiddos ran across the burger again.   It was still in the condition you see it today.   No mold, fungus ...
