Nick Katsanevas and brother-in-law John Katzourakis opened Crown Burgers in 1978, converting a downtown hot-dog stand and putting the pastrami burger on their menu. The dish itself was first served at Minos Burgers in Anaheim by James Katsanevas, who learned the build from a Los Angeles cook; Crown Burgers brought the Greek-American pastrami-on-cheeseburger to Utah and codified it. The hybrid (pastrami plus American cheeseburger plus fry sauce) defines Salt Lake's casual food canon. By the 2020s, seven Crown Burgers locations served the dish across Utah; Apollo Burger built a competing pastrami burger empire at a lower price point.
