Staff at the Shuswap Grill Gourmet Burgary have no beef with the person who took home one of the restaurantB次元官网网址檚 giant decorative hamburger now that it has been returned.

On Feb. 4, employees of the Salmon Arm restaurant went outside after the dinner rush and found the oversized faux burger had been taken from beside the dumpsters near the restaurantB次元官网网址檚 kitchen entrance.

A call was put out to the public to keep an eye out for the stolen sandwich, and it was not missing for very long.

Restaurant employee Dolena Koenig said about a week after the burger was taken, a man called the Burgary saying that he was the one who took it.

B次元官网网址淎 fellow phoned the following Monday, an older gentleman, and said that he had taken it. He backed in here and took it and thought it was garbage,B次元官网网址� Koenig said. B次元官网网址淗e thought it was, I donB次元官网网址檛 know, something historic and he didnB次元官网网址檛 want to see it go to waste.B次元官网网址�

She said the man was very apologetic about taking the burger. He was informed by a neighbour who saw the burger that it was not garbage and that there were posts on the internet looking for information on its wherabouts.

Koenig explained to the man that the burger was not going to be thrown out but instead was sitting there waiting to be mounted on the railing by a banner for the restaurant.

B次元官网网址淚tB次元官网网址檚 back in its original place right now and once the snow goes weB次元官网网址檒l get itB次元官网网址� in a more permanent home there,B次元官网网址� Koenig said.

B次元官网网址淭he burger shall hopefully live here forever.B次元官网网址�
