Manager David Cowden laughingly acknowledges that he turns out the "gourmet hamburger" in Lawrence and says he's able to come up with a recipe that puts out better quality food. He added that 75 per cent of his business is from regular customers.
The Moore Burger menu is simple: a halfpound Double Moore Burger, a quarterpound Moore Burger and a twoounce Less Burger. They're made with all the trim of the cheese, onions, lettuce and tomatoes and Moore Burger does it with six employees.
When the Hardee's Corporation bought out the Sandy's franchise several years ago, Duane Buck, manager of the Lawrence University baseball team, invested to "hurry on down to Hardes."
Buck said the independent franchise operators were given the opportunity to change over to a charcoal broiled taste. But the Lawrence Sandy's was doing a good job, and he has been helped by national advertising, he said, and so it didn't make the switch.
A meat company in Manhhattan supplies all the Griff's 'in Kansas and Missouri with hamburger with a 20 per cent fat content, Benson said. Griff's has 22 employees.

"You wouldn't want to eat two of them."
he said in reference to a Double Meat Whopper with cheese, costing $1.45.
Burger King also has an unusual cooking process. The meat pattyes are cooked in about one minute on a charcoal broiler conveyor unit. After the cheese and garlic have been stirred, they are added to a microwave oven to make sure it is not when it gets to the customer, he said.
Burger King buys its meat and buns locally, but Ollina declined to say from which company. Burger King presently has 65 employees.
The Burger King menu includes a half-pound double Meat Whopper, a quarter-pound Whopper, a double meat hamburger and a large hamburger, all available with cheese.
Quarter-pound Texas Hamburgers at Texas Tom's are cooked to order, Roger Smith, Texas Tom's manager, said. Half pound regular Hamburgers also are on the menu.
