Like most great regional foods, the olive burger’s exact origin is murky. Some point to Flint, Michigan, where the original Kewpee Hotel Hamburg began topping their burgers with chopped green olives as early as 1923. Though the Kewpee name now lives on in Ohio and parts of Michigan under the Halo Burger brand, the Flint outpost remains sacred ground to fans of this salty, savory creation."I’m not going to start a Flint versus Lansing war here, but I believe the Olive Burger originated in Flint, MI at The Kewpee Hotel Hamburg," says Roby.Lansing, MI, is where the olive burger found its true spiritual home. "Lansing definitely owns it," Roby tells Parade. “But you’ll find olive burgers sprinkled all over Michigan and even in places like Detroit (my mom's hometown). Still, Lansing is the heart of it all—kind of like the olive burger capital.”

How to Make a Michigan Olive Burger at Home
According to Roby, it’s super easy to make a Michigan olive burger at home. For the buns, she says go with a plain white bun or get fancy with brioche. "Toast it lightly, and make sure it’s sturdy enough to handle the olive spread and the juicy beef patty. Crusty buns don’t work as well—they can overpower everything."For the olives, she says it's gotta be green. "They’ve got that salty, tangy vibe that cuts through the richness of the burger." What about black olives? "They’re too mild and sweet. You could use them, but it won’t hit the same—I'd experiment with Kalamata first, then move down the line," she says. Here’s how to pull off the ultimate Michigan burger for the start of grilling season:
2. Cook your burger as you like it. "I recommend 80% lean ground beef for a savory, juicy patty," says Roby. Don't forget to add a slice of Swiss cheese and let it melt on top.
4. Stack it: bun, Swiss-topped patty, a big scoop of olive spread, top bun. Done!
