Burger Baron? Burger Barn? Burger Bar? How about all three?! If you’re looking for a unique Alberta way to experience some history while being well fed along the way, take a tour to three historic burger spots found right here in the Leduc Region. You could visit one spot at a time over the summer or, do what we did, and hit them all in a single day! You will indulge in a classic, diner burger, but each location will be just a little unique with their signature flavour. The story behind these iconic places is worth the read—discover the unlikely beginnings of these locally owned and operated spots.
