The Historical Society of Greater Lansing and Weston’s Kewpee Sandwich Shoppe in downtown Lansing are hosting Gary Flinn, author of “Kewpee Hamburgers: A Mity Nice History,” for a talk and book signing on Friday, August 4, 2 p.m.-4 p.m. at 118 South Washington Ave, Lansing.
Finn’s new book, “Kewpee Hamburgers: A Mity Nice History,” celebrates the chain’s centennial this year. Kewpee in Lansing is also celebrating its centennial this year. The Lansing Kewpee added its famous olive burger to the menu in 1925 and the recipe for olive sauce has remained a secret since Gladys Bowlin, who is the great grandmother of the current owner Autumn Weston, invented it. Nationally, Kewpee is the second oldest operating restaurant chain.
