Famous 1948 Recipe

Around 1962 Harold L. Jorgenson’s health began to fail and he no longer could expand Tastee Inn & Out.  So he began to sell off parcel by parcel of his holdings to pay medical bills.  Harold still maintained full control of Tastee Inn & Out Corporation 1530 N. 48th street in Lincoln Nebraska, keeping the Tastee sandwich available from 1948 – 1970.  At no time did he sell any recipes to Tastee Inn Corporation, but he did agree to sell the recipes to T Triple B Company.  He provided the original formula and other recipes for $1.00 providing they would do their best to make copies available to many satisfied customers that patronized him throughout the years.  This is an excerpt from one of those $1.00 investments provided in the early 70’s.
