It’s springtime and Heber Valley’s burger scene is alive and thriving. So get out there and sample some of our favorite “liberty steaks.”
Fun fact: During WWI and WWII, hamburgers—which originated in Hamburg, Germany—were briefly renamed “liberty steaks” in the USA to avoid their German-sounding name.
