When was the first burger invented?

Answer 1

The following people, or restaurants, claim to have either "invented" the hamburger as it is known today, or a unique cooking method. Charlie Nagreen 1885, Seymour, Wisconsin. According to one claim, Charlie Nagreen served the world's first hamburger at the Seymour Fair (Outagamie County Fair) of 1885. "Hamburger" Charlie decided to flatten a meatball and place it between slices of bread to increase portability. Menches brothers 1885, Hamburg, New York. Western New York history recorded that Frank and Charles Menches ran out of pork for their sausage patty sandwiches at the 1885 Erie County Fair. Their supplier, reluctant to butcher more hogs in the summer heat, suggested they use beef instead. The brothers fried some up, but found it bland. They added coffee, brown sugar, and other ingredients to create a taste which stands distinct without condiments. They christened their creation the "Hamburg Sandwich" after Hamburg, New York where the fair has been held since 1868; the name was probably later condensed by common use to the shorter contraction "hamburger" (and so explaining why a beef sandwich--which never contained any pork--bears this name). The original recipe is featured at Menches Brothers Restaurants in Akron, Ohio. Fletcher Davis late 1880s, Athens, Texas. In 1974, The New York Times ran a story about Louis' Lunch having a serious challenger to the title of inventing the hamburger. According to the McDonald's hamburger chain the inventor was an unknown food vendor at the St. Louis World's Fair in 1904. Newspaper columnist, Texas historian, and restaurateur Frank X. Tolbert said that this food vendor was Fletcher Davis who operated a café at 115 Tyler Street on the north side of the courthouse square in Athens, Texas, in the late 1880s. Local lore holds that Davis was selling an unnamed sandwich of ground beef at his lunch counter at that time. During the 1980s Dairy Queen ran a commercial filmed in Athens, calling the town the birthplace of the hamburger. Louis' Lunch 1900, New Haven, Connecticut. Louis' Lunch has been selling steak and hamburger since 1895 when Louis Lassen opened his lunch wagon. This small establishment, which advertises itself as the oldest hamburger restaurant in the U.S., is credited by some with having invented the classic American hamburger when Louis sandwiched a pattie between two pieces of white toast for a busy office worker in 1900. Louis' Lunch flame broils the hamburgers in the original 1898 Bridge & Beach vertical cast iron gas stoves using locally patented steel wire gridirons to hold the hamburgers in place while they cook. The U.S. Library of Congress American Folklife Center Local Legacies Project web site credits Louis' Lunch as the maker of America's first hamburger and steak sandwich.. Dyer's Burgers, 1912, Memphis, Tennessee, deep-fried burgers using a cast-iron skillet. White Castle, 1921, Wichita, Kansas. Due to widely prevalent anti-German sentiment in the U.S. during World War I, an alternative name for hamburgers was salisbury steak. Even after the war, hamburgers' popularity was severely depressed until the White Castle chain of restaurants created a business model featuring sales of large numbers of small hamburgers. White Castle holds a U.S trademark on "slyders." Ted's Restaurant, 1959, Meriden, Connecticut. Ted's Restaurant uses steam to cook their cheeseburgers. Some people believe that steam was used to cook hamburgers in the early 1900s in this part of Connecticut.

Answer 2

There are several claims to how the first burger or hamburger came to be. It was first created in the US around 1890, but became popular at the 1904 St. Louis World's Fair when the New York Tribune namelessly attributed the hamburger as, "the innovation of a food vendor on the pike."

White Castle says the hamburger originated in Hamburg, Germany with its invention by Otto Kuase when he created a beef patty cooked in butter, topped with a fried egg. .

Others who claim to have invented the hamburger are:

Charlie Nagreen was fifteen when he reportedly made Sandwiches out of meatballs that he was selling at the 1885 Seymour Fair (now the Outagamie County Fair), so that customers could eat while walking.

Frank and Charles Menches who ran out of pork sausage for their sandwiches and substituted chopped beef.

Oscar Weber Bilby served hamburger on a bun at a 4th of July celebration.

Louis Lasson ran out of steak at his lunch wagon so he used some beef trimmings to make a sandwich for a customer.

Fletcher David served a 'burger' of fried ground beef patties with mustard and Bermuda onion between two slices of bread; with a pickle on the side at his lunch stand.

Answer 3

No one "discovered" burgers. If something is discovered it all ready exists in the world, but the hamburger didn't exist until the 11th century when the Mongols carried patties of meat with them on long horseback rides. They put the meat under their saddles. When they invaded Moscow they took this idea with them where it eventually arrived in Hamburg, Germany. From Germany sailors took it with them to other places/ports and one of those was NYC where it became known as the Hamburg Steak or Hamburger. The bun is said to have been invented in 1916 by Walter Anderson a short order cook and founder of White Castle chain. Hamburg NY also claims credit for the invention of the hamburger and has a "burgerfest" every summer for the introduction of the hamburger in the Erie County fair in 1885. The first cheeseburger was created between 1924 and 1926 by a chef in Pasadena, CA. There is also a place in Kentucky that claims they invented the cheeseburger in 1934, so there is not a 100% certainty of where the cheeseburger comes from.
