- NATIONAL HAMBURGER DAY -- The hamburger was invented in New Haven, Connecticut in 1900 by a lunch wagon owner named Louis Lassen. He came up with it for a customer who was in a rush and wanted something ‘to go,’ so he slapped some ground steak between two pieces of bread and the rest is history. BURGER FUN FACTS:
- Americans eat about 50-billion burgers a year, and, on average, Americans eat burgers three times a week (and you wonder why we’re fat)?!
- Almost two-thirds of all sandwiches sold worldwide are hamburgers.
- A Minnesota casino set the World Record for the largest hamburger ever made. It weighed just over a ton and was 10 feet in diameter (try eating that in the car)!
- McDonald’s sells 75 hamburgers every second!
