Faux Red Carpet Event-The Ballad of Mary Jane

Hold onto your buns, folks! Mary Jane Burgers & Brew proudly announces the world premiere of The Ballad of Mary Jane: Inventor of the First Burger – An Almost True Story, a short film so juicy it might just sizzle off the screen. Join us for a faux red carpet extravaganza on June 28, 2025, at 6:30 PM at the Warehouse in Perryville, Missouri, where the only thing hotter than the burgers is the Hollywood-style glitz we’re faking for one night only!

This 8-minute cinematic masterpiece (give or take a few ketchup stains) chronicles the totally-not-made-up tale of Mary Jane, a plucky Perryville gal who, legend has it, slapped the first burger between two buns in 1942 after a cow and a loaf of bread got into a bar fight. Expect wild reenactments, questionable historical accuracy, and a cameo by Mary Jane herself. Directed by local visionary Supreme Leader Smugala, the film stars Skyler “No Fries” Gollaher as Mary Jane, an original soundtrack and bloopers and deleted scenes, maybe.

Roll up to our faux red carpet, where flip-flops count as formalwear and our “paparazzi” (Danny’s cousins with iPhones) will make you feel like a star. Music by international superstars Moonshine express. Sip Mary Jane’s signature “Burger Bonanza” brew, devour sliders inspired by the film, and pose with Mary Jane and her descendants.
