Well dang Fins! You had to steal my thunder. Krazy says we don't know anything so I just wanted to prove to someone that I knew at least one thing.

Had a bite or two of one as a kid.... that was one nasty a** burger

Why? How many more times do we need to post the same recipe?

Donna at Donna's Country Kitchen would know since she ran Smithey's for years. She may not be willing to divulge the recipe though.

Those goodwill burgers were mostly bread and grease, and barely edible. The barbecue sandwiches were much better.

I don't know why I am willing to help people that can't help themselves. But here you go

There seem to be many different variations of the recipe but the Smithey's on Backstreet in WJ, I'm almost positive they have oatmeal in them. I don't know what else but I could eat 10 of them at once they just melt in your mouth. I know the little restaurant over on the 4 lane between the towns that has since gone out of business claimed to sell them but I tried them from there once and they were no where near the correct recipe. I sure wish I knew the recipe so I could make them at home.

It is listed on the receipe page of goashe.

Ground chuck sage chili powder salt pepper

There is this amazing new invention called google. You should try it. I just typed in smithey burger recipe

You can get them at woodhaven in n.wilkesboro. we call them goodwill burger's because of smitheys goodwill store on 10 th street in downtown n.wilkesboro.

In a book devoted to Ashe County History - I am writing to ask, Does anyone have the original recipe for the smithy burger?
