Swap meet/hamburgers. It doesn't get much better!

Traveling the backroads of Wisconsin is a great way to find good places to eat. You would never find such places cruising the freeway at 75 mph. It also means you wouldn't pass through the town of Jefferson. Two times a year, the town plays host to thousands of people looking for that special automotive part or nostalgic piece of Americana. It was the Fall swap meet at the Jefferson County Fairgrounds this weekend. (That means it won't be long before outdoor dining will be suspended for the season.) The event is hosted by Madison Classics, if you want to search the event.
In the town of Jefferson, WI there is a couple of places to grab a burger. I'm pretty sure I've written about Burger Corner. Great name, decent burger. This time, on a suggestion from my friend Curt, we stopped at Wedl's burger stand. The name says it all. Just a small building next to the main building (where they also have an ice cream parlor). The building is no bigger than a small tool shed. The meat is fresh ground daily and it shows in flavor. The price was just right, $1.85 for a single cheeseburger with raw onions. I snitched a couple of fries from my friend's bag of fries. They were tasty. Nothing fancy. I wish I would have had some ice cream.

Wedl's gets 3.5 of 5. A good burger at a good price. Fun to watch the grill.
