A&W Restaurants, Inc. is an American fast food restaurant chain distinguished by its “Burger Family” combos, draft root beer and root beer floats.
The Burger Family consisted of four characters, each of them named after the line of hamburgers A&W introduced in the 1960s (Papa, Mama, Teen, Baby), often seen in fiberglass statues holding a burger on one hand and a mug of root beer on the other.
Although often misattributed to Canada, the [The Great Root Bear] mascot concept originated in the United States. Until the early 1970s, A&W’s primary mascot in the United States and Canada was the Burger Family.
A patty is a flattened, usually round, serving of ground meat or legumes, grains, vegetables, or meat alternatives.
