A Charming Way to Serve Hamburgers & Sides

Summertime cookouts, pool parties, tailgating, game day, or a weeknight dinner just because, this is A Charming Way To Serve Hamburgers & Sides that is sure to be a conversation piece.

Have you ever enjoyed tea in a tearoom? Besides wearing a pretty dress and sometimes a hat and gloves, my favorite part is the tower of tasty sandwiches, mini cakes, and cookies.

These stacked trays of savory and sweet things inspired this fun towering hamburger and sides post. Scroll on down the details plus a few bonus cookout tips.

A Charming Way To Serve Hamburgers & Sides

SUPPLIES

1. GALVANIZED 3 TIER TRAYS/TOWERS

Let’s start with the galvanized 3 -Tier tower. These are great no matter what they are made of! I have kept one on my coffee cart for the past couple of years. My friend Kimberlee shared this idea with me on a thrift shopping trip in Sumner, Washington. I remember her wire 3 -tier tower filled with snacks for her darling twin boys. I keep mine filled seasonally with all sorts of fun themed things.

2. HAMBURGER WRAPPERS

Use a sharpie to label or personalize the wrappers with a name. These retro wrappers are cute too.

3. ICE

Party tip! Let’s Talk Ice

Who doesn’t love pebble ice. It really does add the EXTRA SPARKLE AND CHARM to any drink you add it to. Did you know you can buy bags of pebble ice at Chic-fil-A? You can! We call it “the good kind of ice” in our family. It is also known as Sonic Ice. If you don’t live close to a Chic-Fil-A, you can try Sonic. In some areas they sell “the good Kind of Ice too.”

4. CONDIMENTS + TOPPINGS + DRINKS

On this Hamburger Tower I chose to go All American using, catsup. mustard, mayo, pickles, onions, lettuce, and tomatoes with ruffled chips, coke in the bottle, and Black Peach Tea.

We can’t forget about Hot Dogs. Just in case you are adding hot dogs to your tower, I have added “inspo below.” Plus more cookout sides and dessert ideas. Oh! And a few outrageous links for cookout attire.

Top Tier

Fill with ice and tuck the vegetable bowls down in the ice.

Middle Tier

Arrange the chips and hamburgers.

Bottom Tier

Fill the bottom tier with ice. Vary the drinks and condiments in the ice.
