DESCRIPTION:

National Cheeseburger Day celebrates an international favorite, the cheeseburger. A cheeseburger is a hamburger with cheese.

Where did the hamburger come from initially?

Mongolia.

Mongolia is a cold country, and in the 11th century, everyone traveled by horse. The Mongols were ranchers and raised several herd animals. They sold the meat from their herds across Eurasia, with Moscow being a primary market. Unfortunately, on horseback, there isn't a lot of storage space for meat or anything else. The Mongols flattened the beef into patties, making it easier to carry and sell in small quantities.

Eventually, sailors took this idea west to Europe. Hamburg, Germany, where they ground beef and served it as a patty, the Hamburg steak. Ground meat easily mixes with other ingredients, extending its ability to feed more people, making it an economical form of meat, and it cooks faster. People would often wrap the meat in bread, but there was no purpose-built bread for the patty yet.

The Hamburg steak arrived in the US with immigrants, and in 1916 Walter Anderson, a short-order cook, decided to make it portable. He created the hamburger bun and founded White Castle, the first fast food hamburger chain.

Versions abound of who had the great idea to add cheese to the hamburger. We know that between 1924 and 1926, "cheeseburgers" began popping up on menus.
