I went for the first time today to Marcus. Did they used to be a chain? I noticed they have been copywrighted since 1923(?) A good but strange burger seemed like meatloaf. Any good stories from anyone??? | ||

The one at 14 and Ryan is much cleaner. And they still have their air conditioner. | ||

Is this the place that makes or made hamburgers in a rolled shape and put them in hotdog buns. My mom told me about some hamburger place that did that? awhile back. | ||

That's the place. Does anyone know the origin of this type of burger?? | ||

It was an interesting experience when i ate there with a friend. The burger reminded me a bit of an Olga burger without the fancy. | ||

Blakeney's Ranch House, originally on Davison near Dexter, later in Farmington Hills, now gone, used to make a similar burger. | ||

Tarkus: I think another visit is in order. Generally places such as Marcus always have old photos and newspaper clippings on the wall or a short history on the back of the menu. If that isn't the case, then chat up the staff!! I searched high and low but am not seeing any website or other historical info on the web other than the basics. | ||

No one has answered my question. What are the origins of this type of hamburger? Someone here must surely know. | ||

I think Tarkus is Marcus' twin brother who wants to open up a chain of competing Tarkus Hamburger restaurants. Tarkus, I see thru your evil plan to conquer the long hamburger market!!! | ||

Dang, you got me. Actually I was a corporate spy for McD's trying to figure out the success of Marcus and bring their technique to MickeyD's. |
