This burger is as famous as green Jell-O in Utah. But where did it come from?

The burger features a charbroiled beef patty topped with pastrami and served on a bun with signature sauce, cheese, tomato and lettuce.

(Bethany Baker | The Salt Lake Tribune) An Apollo Burger, loaded with pastrami, sits on a tray at Apollo Burger in Salt Lake City on Friday, Feb. 21, 2025. All three major Greek-owned burger chains in Utah — Apollo Burger, Crown Burgers and Astro Burgers — all have some version of the pastrami burger.
