In the early 1990s, the BUBBA burger® was developed by Walter “Bubba” Eaves. Bubba had a mission and a dream to create the best possible, call it the perfect hamburger. As Bubba says he “wanted to create a burger that he would be proud to serve to his friends at his home”.

Bubba invented a unique production process that allows for the BUBBA burger® to be cooked from a frozen state and still remain juicy and tender. He also decided that he would use only the highest quality meat in his burger. He refused to use any trimmings in his burger and to insure the highest possible quality decided to use only whole muscle chucks in the BUBBA burger® and since he was so proud of his creation he named his burger the BUBBA burger®. With these high standards the BUBBA burger® was born!

Starting with the Jacksonville division of Publix, distribution of the BUBBA burger® grew throughout the southeast in both the retail and foodservice channels. Eaves Foods, Inc. run by Bubba marketed the burger line, which was expanded to include four great varieties:

The Original BUBBBA
The Sweet Onion BUBBA
The Reduced Fat BUBBA
The BUBBA made with Certified Angus Beef®

Bubba was born and raised in Elberton, Georgia and he wanted to build a new “state of the art” BUBBA burger® plant in his hometown where he could always keep his eye on the BUBBA burger®. Construction of the new plant was completed in 2000 just as Bubba decided that he wanted new partners in the business to help introduce the BUBBA burger® to the entire United States. In November 2000, a new company was formed called Bubba Foods, LLC to take over all aspects of the BUBBA burger® including the production, sales and marketing of the BUBBA burger® with Bubba as the Founder Emeritus, Billy Morris as President and CEO and Steve Coon as COO.

The BUBBA burger® is now sold throughout the United States as well as world-wide through the U.S. Military Commissary system. The BUBBA burger® is the number #1 Branded Frozen burger in the United States today with the original four varieties as well as the following great additions to select from:

The Jalapeno BUBBA
The 1⁄2 pound Texas shaped BUBBA
The All Natural BUBBA
