Mont. restaurant has beef for Obama, not with him

[August 14, 2009]  BOZEMAN, Mont. (AP) -- A Bozeman, Mont., restaurant is saluting the president's fondness for cheeseburgers by offering a "Barack Obama Burger" Friday to honor his visit to the area.

The $10 bison meat burger at Ted's Montana Grill has three types of cheese: American, cheddar and Monterey Jack. The burger comes with a side of spicy mustard along with lettuce, tomato, onion and pickles, french fries and a small American flag.

Ted's Montana Grill is owned by CNN founder Ted Turner. He owns 52 of the restaurants around the country and has a bison ranch in southwest Bozeman.

Organizers expect as many as 500 people to attend a rally Friday in Belgrade, Mont., where Obama is bringing his health care town hall tour.
