History
Founded in 1957 in
Lethbridge ,Alberta , Burger Baron was the firstdrive-through chain in Western Canada.cite web |url=http://www.edmontonplus.ca/bars_restaurants/burger_baron/1059377 |title=Edmonton Plus.ca |accessdate=2008-01-17] . The company expanded quickly throughout the region but suffered when the big American chains began to move to the area. Today, there are still dozens of Burger Barons throughout Western Canada, but they are mostly concentrated aroundEdmonton . Among other things, Burger Baron is famous for taking over the former locations of other fast-food chains, and for being endorsed by formerEdmonton Oilers hockey coachGlen Sather .cite web |url=http://www.edmontonplus.ca/bars_restaurants/burger_baron/1059377 |title=Edmonton Plus.ca |accessdate=2008-01-17] .Menu
Burger Barons typically feature multiple unusual variations of hamburger, such as a "Salisbury Burger", and a "
Teriyaki Burger". In recent years one the chain's main features has been Halifax-styledonair s (a Middle-Eastern influenced pita sandwich stuffed with spiced roast beef, vegetables, and sweet sauce).cite web |url=http://www.edmontonplus.ca/bars_restaurants/burger_baron/1059377 |title=Edmonton Plus.ca |accessdate=2008-01-17] .References
