Growing up in St Albert one of my favorite summer treats was a kubie burger, a delicious, savory, garlicky burger from the local butcher. But the butcher shop we got them from went the way of most butcher shops in the 90s and went out of business.

I've asked my dad what they were, and he doesn't really remember either, and the internet seems to have a number of different answers, but non really look/sound right. Eg: It definitely wasn't just a slice of a big garlic sausage, and I'm reasonably sure that it wasn't just sausage meat shaped into a patty.

Does anyone have a proper memory of these? Or a recipe?

Specifically, the butcher shop was between Grandin mall and the fire station, in that little strip mall.
