Bio/Historical Note: The Wheatkey Burger was invented by Karim Wade Nasser as a response to an oversupply of wheat by Saskatchewan farmers and in opposition of the LIFT program that would have the government pay farmers to leave their fields empty. Nasser created a burger that mixed 2/3 beef and 1/3 ground wheat to use more wheat products. Restaurant owners did not want to use it in their established menus, so he opened his own restaurant in the old Silver Star Restaurant (220-4th Avenue) where he had moderate success. He then tried to sell his patties in Safeway and would give out free samples (pictured here). However, an Inspector from Food and Health told him was not allowed to sell his burgers in Safeway as they broke the rules about how much filler was allowed in burgers. He was allowed to continue serving them in his restaurant and even had John Diefenbaker, Olive Diefenbaker, and Mary Spinks (wife of the then University President) come for lunch and a photo op, but the government was not convinced.
