Heard on the Radio: Mustard & Burgers uniquely celebrated in Wisconsin

As heard on the radio:

August 5 is Mustard Day in Mt. Horeb, Wisconsin, home of the Mustard Museum.
It's a unique event - highlioghted by Mustard Custard, mustard cooking demonstrations, music and more. Ther are some 3,000 hot dogs available free - if you put mustard on it. The Oscar Meyer Weiner Van will be there. And then there is the museum that includes some 4000 jars of mustard. Museum curator Barry Levinson joined the gang at Left Jab Radio for a discusssion about Mustard Day and the Museum.


That same day in another part of Wisconsin is Burger Day in Seymour. Seymour claims to be the bithplace of the hamburger back in 1885. For years they have been staging a Burger Fest there. Tom Duffey from Seymour spoke about the festival and the role of the burger in his community (they twice cooked up the "world's Biggest Hamburger). Tom will be among those representing Seymour next month in Ohio at the first annual Hamburger Festival featuring "The Hamburger Hearings", which will sort through the competing claims of four communities: Seymour, New Haven, ct, Hamburg, NY and Athens, Texas. Each claims to be the birthplace of the hamburger. This event in August wil try to get to the bottom of the issue.
