Pete’s Hamburger Stand has a history that began more than 100 years ago with a man and pan-fried hamburgers sold at street fairs, carnivals, and auctions at the turn of the 20th century. The man's popular technique of simmering the burgers and onions in water enabled him to cook many at a time and keep them hot and ready to be sold without hurting the quality of the beef. Pete's Hamburger Stand moved into a trailer in the 1940s and eventually found a brick and mortar location on Blackhawk Avenue. The family of the original owner still operates Pete's, and the recipe for simmered hamburgers is still the same! Pete's is opened seasonally beginning in April.
