W. Richard (Dick) Albrecht was first place winner and the recipient of a $1,000 check in the Build a Burger Contest sponsored by the Nebraska Beef Council for the one hundredth anniversary of the hamburger. Albrecht was the winner of the local build a burger contest sponsored by the Ainsworth Area Chamber of Commerce at the Elks Lodge during the "Middle of Nowhere" Days. He built his burger using all items that could be found at the local grocery stores.

On August 28 he competed again using the same type of ingredients to build a burger at the semi-final contest at the State Fair. There he was named as one of the three state finalists. The final competition was held September 25, at the Qwest Convention Center in Omaha as part of the 2004 River City Round Up. The burgers were judged by three judges who were all professionals in the food industry business and education levels. Judges comments included "A great revision of the 'old burger;'"  "burger has tremendous flavor;" "all items are coming into a wonderful medley that floods the senses;" "very good, like the seasoning."

In a interview that took place during preparation of the burger, Albrecht was interviewed by Ann Marie Bosshamer, Director of Marketing, of the Nebraska Beef Council. He named his burger the Sand Hills Discovery Burger. He told the group that he wished to help promote the cattle industry of the Sand Hills where some of the best beef is found. He named each of his ingredients used on the burger and one of the ingredients was by a local seasoning made by Tom and Doris Owens from Sparks, NE called the Oasis Seasoning. After tasting the burger members of the crowd wanted to know where they could buy this seasoning and where was Sparks located? Albrecht also stopped in O'Neill and bought some tomatoes from a new hydroponic green house business there. He wanted to showcase some of the special products that come from the Sand Hills area of Nebraska.
