Burgers can be healthy. This doesn’t mean they always are, or that they even ought to be. Sometimes, the best burger is one that is deliberately made as bad for you as possible, and nobody knows it better than the folks at Dyer’s Burgers in Memphis, TN. Founded in the early 1900s, this restaurant has been serving up classic burgers and fries for a hundred years. One of the trademark items on the menu here is the Dyer’s famous deep fried hamburger.
