In our quest to determine what Kwest's top ten list, we would be hard pressed to not mention "Slap Happies." The name itself brings so many things to question, as well as a flood of fun and wonderful stories about the kamp family.
Slap happy rated the best burger on the planet.
Slap Happy happens at the beginning of every term and occasionally they rear their head again for special picnics and events. It's a tradition like none other. Whether they are cooked to perfection (normally they are), flame kissed (as Brad Friess used to say), or toasted like a hockey puck (which does happen occasionally), they are still a slap happy burger made with love and not attainable anywhere else on the planet.
Maybe it's the fact that they are the first meal served to a new kamper. Maybe it's that they are made with Love. Perhaps it's even made more special because you are just back at kamp and are so excited to see everyone. Whatever the case is, opening night picnic, the kitchies, and well cooked beef bring Slap Happy time close to the center of every kampers bulls eye when it comes to favorite things of kwest.
A few years ago, Pete Majors introduced a special sauce, with a special name (almost like being in the holy of hollies so we can't mention it here). It allowed the Slap Happy burger to be taken to a new level. The secret sauce has been in the family for years now and is handed down from one generation of staff to the next.
The huddle around the grill, the smoke pouring into the cooks eyes, and the thousands upon thousands of kampers fed, all add up to helping make Slap Happy time at number 5 on our list.

The smoke wasn't in our eyes, Wiebe... We wore goggles!
