A Brief History of Burgers: Burger and Chips Cake Decorating Tutorial
The hamburger is a quintessential American food, but its origins are actually quite complex and international. Here’s a brief history of the burger:
- Hamburg, Germany: The word “hamburger” is thought to have originated in Hamburg, Germany, where a type of beefsteak called “Frikadellen” was popular in the 19th century. German immigrants brought this dish to the United States in the mid-1800s.
- United States: The first hamburger in the United States is credited to Louis Lassen, a German immigrant who ran a lunch wagon in New Haven, Connecticut. In 1895, Lassen began serving a sandwich consisting of a ground beef patty, onions, and pickles.
- World’s Fair: The hamburger gained national attention at the 1904 World’s Fair in St. Louis, Missouri. Several vendors sold hamburgers at the fair, including Fletcher Davis and his wife, who are often credited with popularizing the dish.
- Fast Food: In the 1920s, hamburger chains like White Castle and McDonald’s began to open, making the hamburger a fast food staple.
- International Popularity: The hamburger has become a popular food all over the world, with variations on the classic recipe found in many countries.
