What do you remember about Lumburgers?  They were more like sloppy joes, 
loose ground beef topped with some type of melted cheese.
I tried a recipe today, but the taste did not come back to me because I 
chose the wrong cheese to try. What cheese do you think Lum’s used?
I remember those lumburgers just melted in your mouth!!

 Hi Larry,

Well, I know next to nothing about Lumburgers.  We had a Lum's on Highway 90 in Biloxi/Gulfport in the 1970s, but the only thing I recall eating there was the fried clams basket.

There is a lot of discussion about Lumburgers on various message boards around the web, but no one has a recipe.  Lumburgers are mundanely described in those posts as "loose meat hamburgers with a bit of tomato based sauce.

However, I found a photo of an actual Lum's menu with a much better description here: Lum's Menu

To wit: "chopped sirloin in our own B-B-Q sauce on an egg bun."

Chopped sirloin and an egg bun are not difficult to find, but Lum's own BBQ sauce recipe is like Captain Kidd's treasure. No success there, and no idea what cheese they used.
