And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two?

The Uranium Burger was the featured in a Salt Lake City restaurant in 1954. This is not to be confused with the Atomic Burger offered in tiny Arco, Idaho. In 1955, Arco became the first city in the world lighted by atomic energy.
The enthusiasm of atomic kitsch of the 1950's is so weird compared to all the nuclear nightmares younger generations first saw with 3 Mile Island / Chernobyl / 'The Day After'. That being said, if I had a time machine, going to 1950's Las Vegas for the nuke-watching parties would be on my list.

I applaud your research skills. Makes me wonder if anyone offered a plutonium po'boy back in the day.
