Letter: Wonder Burgers were 25 cents in 1955 Sena Schaefer writes: On the timeline for the 25 cent hamburger - I am unable to vouch for anything in Columbia at the time - I can remember the 25 cent burgers in Owensboro. Wyndall’s Wonder Whip opened on Highway 60 East in 1955. The trademark burger there was called a Wonder Burger & sold for 25 cents. One could buy hamburgers for 15 cents at other places, but those were not equal to the Wonder Burgers which are still being sold today. I am guessing that the sign pictured is from the late 50’s to early 60s. (The current address of the Wonder Whip is 2434 KY 144 - the place hasn’t moved, but the roads have been re-numbered.) Thank you for writing, Sena! This calls for a road trip to test taste and price a Wonder Burger in 2025. If any Columbia Magazine readers are out in that direction, maybe a food photo will come in. And to think, all I had given Owensboro credit for (in addition to KWC and having two grandsons born there) was Moonlight BBQ. - LW This story was posted on 2025-03-12 22:56:36
