A History of the Hamburger
National Hamburger Day, celebrated on May 28th each year, is a delicious opportunity to enjoy this iconic American food. But where did the hamburger come from, and how did it become a national obsession?
The exact origin of the hamburger is a bit blurry. Some believe it originated in Hamburg, Germany, in the early 19th century, where similar meat patties were served between slices of bread. Others point to American influences, with stories of immigrants bringing ground beef recipes to the United States.
Fast forward to the 20th century, and the hamburger truly took off. Lunch wagons and roadside stands began offering hamburgers as a quick and affordable meal. In 1921, White Castle, a fast-food chain credited with popularizing the hamburger, opened its doors, offering a small, square hamburger for just five cents. This affordability and convenience helped propel the hamburger into mainstream popularity.
Today, the hamburger is a global phenomenon, enjoyed in countless variations worldwide. From classic cheeseburgers to gourmet creations with exotic toppings, the hamburger remains a versatile and popular comfort food.
