The Famous Murray Burger

Long-time Jo Anne's Place customers and staff know about the Murray Burger. Murray Fallaise, our founder Jo Anne’s husband, created this gluten-free vegetarian burger way back in the day when a meat-free lifestyle was unheard of. Families that have come out of Jo Anne’s have been enjoying these burgers for over 45 years and we want to share it with you!
