Of all the items on the Burger 55 menu, owner/operator Ronald Bee said the Hero Burger is his favourite to prepare.
Who can blame him when they learn that this dish features two 5.5 ounce beef patties topped with 鈥渄runken鈥� onions and mozzarella, cheddar and swiss cheese between a brioche bun. As part of this #FoodieFriday, Bee also prepares a fresh salad to showcase the healthier items available at his Penticton eatery.
Bee and his wife purchased the established business just under one year ago and say business is booming. He credits his wife鈥檚 support for the success he鈥檚 had in elevating the Burger 55 brand with quality food.
鈥淲ithout her support, I鈥檓 not here. And without her encouragement, we couldn鈥檛 do what we do,鈥� said Bee. 鈥淚t鈥檚 imperative to have a strong supporter in life and as a business partner.鈥�

Bee said he鈥檚 tried to stick to the established menu Burger 55 is known for, and upholds its reputation with quality ingredients. That being said, he does add new features from time to time and loves to highlight the non-burger items available at the eatery.
鈥淎ll of our burgers are made fresh, in-house. We don鈥檛 freeze them, they鈥檙e made as we need them,鈥� said Bee. 鈥淭hey have fresh herbs in them, salt and pepper, and our 55 seasoning mix.鈥�
鈥淲e鈥檙e more than a burger place, we actually have some great healthy options. We have lettuce wraps for completely non-gluten, and gluten-free buns and a gluten-free dedicated fryer,鈥� said Bee. 鈥淲e also have an all-vegan burger that is made in house. It has garbanza beans, black beans, gluten-free rolled oats, corn flour, herbs, salt and pepper and seasonings.鈥�

Bee said he鈥檚 received a lot of praise for his burgers from out-of-town visitors who want to know where else they can get their hands on a Burger 55 menu item. He said expanding is something he鈥檇 like to do eventually, but for now he鈥檚 focused on his Penticton-based business.
Beginning May long weekend, Bee said Burger 55 will be hosting 鈥渁fter hours鈥� on weekend evenings. For more information about Burger 55, visit burger55.com.
