banquet burger DCHP-2 (October 2016)

• n. — Food

  burger with bacon and cheese (see Image 1).

  Type: 1. Origin — Banquet burger appears to be Canadian in origin. The first known attestation of the term comes from a Windsor Star newspaper advertisment from 1968 for Mady's Big Boy Restaurant (see the 1968 quotation). There is some confusion owing to the fact that the restaurant shares a name with the popular US franchise Big Boy Restaurants. However, Mady's Big Boy restaurant was not a franchisee.
  The term is most frequent in Canada according to internet domain searches (see Chart 1).
  See also COD-2, s.v. "banquet burger", which is marked "Cdn".
