The largest Kewpee Hamburgers in Lima, Ohio


Three years ago, I finally found myself at the Kewpee Hamburgers location in Downtown Lima, Ohio. It was an out-of-body experience for me.

It had been a long wait, but I was finally able to visit and eat at one of their restaurants. When the time to figure out where I’d be signing copies of my book All About the Burger, I knew that a stop at Kewpee in Lima was mandatory.

I wouldn’t take no for an answer. Lucky for me, they said yes. I got to enjoy another one of those delectable Double Cheeseburgers (with onions, pickles & mustard) and one of their frosted malts.

I also signed a bunch of books, hung out & talked about Kewpee history with Scott Shutt, VP of Kewpee Hamburgers, and was on a local TV station that covered the event. It was an awesome day if you ask me, and true to their catchphrase, my heart went flippity-flop.

Thank you to Scott Schutt and everyone at Kewpee Hamburgers for treating my wife and me like kings.
