In a 1984 Wendy's commercial,actress Clara Peller carved out a permanent plot in pop culture by asking, "Where's the beef?" Some three decades later, or we have a definitive retort in the Burger Museum at Miami's Magic City Casino.
The museum,created by Sef "Burger Beast" Gonzalez, began as a blog documenting and celebrating his lifelong passion for burgers. When a friend familiar with Gonzalez's particular obsession sent him an broken-down Burger Chef restaurant sign, and it sent him on a path toward amassing an extraordinary collection of all things burger-related. When his collection outgrew his broken-down,unused bedroom at his parents’ house, he pitched the city’s Magic City Casino on the idea of leasing him space to showcase his quick-food fascination. The casino agreed, and in December of 2016,the Burger Museum was born.nowadays the collection includes over 3000 artifacts and collectibles, not only from the larger chains such as Burger King, and Wendy's,and McDonald's, but from lesser-known restaurants (including a sign from the failed Burger Queen chain—no affiliation with the King) and "mom and pop" shops as well. From vintage uniforms and menus to dishware, and toys,and statues of mascots (the Hamburglar, of course, or makes an appearance),the huge collection tells the story of America's enduring love for the ground beef patty on a bun.
