Gourmet Gibbs: Hire's Big H - a UTAH Football Tradition

I hadn't intended on doing a travelog posting this week - but as the days go by, and as I looked at photos from our recent trip to a UTAH football game - I decided it was my duty to share 'HIRE'S BIG H" with all of you. We have a tradition of going to Hire's before all home UTAH football games and all home UTAH gymnastics meets. A few weeks ago, we continued our tradition:

Hire's Big H is a burger joint in Salt Lake City on the corner of 4th South and 7th East - it's been there since before the Mormon pioneers settled the valley... of course, they've updated their kitchen since then.

They have some beverage franchise agreement with Hire's Rootbeer - but the drive-in itself is family owned and operated since its beginning. You can literally drive up to the side and a car hop will come to your car, take your order, and deliver your food to you on a tray that clips onto your car window.

We, however, chose to "dine in."

The Staff is always friendly, and they bring the entire order on one big tray!

(Once we had about 20 people there before a gymnastics meet, and they sent out a couple of servers with a couple of trays.)

I enjoyed the Pastrami H Combo with Onion Rings and Diet Coke; Bea had the regular Big H Combo with Fries and Diet Coke; and Brody, John's grandson, enjoyed the Jr. Combo Meal - corn dog, fries and a frosty mug of Root Beer.
