Where was the hamburger invented?

Americans didn't invent the idea of placing meat between two pieces of bread. In Europe and Asia there are many reports of such a fast meal being mentioned in writing. The Earl of Sandwich is the one that gets credited of having invented the sandwich. Yet the French claim that they came up with the idea first.

The fact is, bread has been part of practically every human diet. So has meat. Thus its almost impossible to give credit to any culture as to who came up with the idea first. Since bread and meat are so common.

However, the hambuger as we know it today, probably was invented in America. The problem is that no one knows for sure where it happened. Nobody bothered to record the event.

It's like asking "who invented the Taco". Some say the Conquistadores that invaded Mexico did. Yet other historians point out that the natives would eat tacos not only made out of meat, but also of insects like grasshoppers and other bugs. Yet there is no specific date when it first happened or what person invented the first taco.

So is with the hamburger.

The hamburger had its beginning on Athens' interesting courthouse square in the l880s when Fletcher Davis, who owned a downtown cafe, invented the sandwich. The delicacy was so popular that in l904 a group of Athens businessmen raised enough money to send the inventor to the St. Louis World's Fair, where the hamburger was introduced to the world.

It became invented in united statesa. someplace. it fairly is how briskly foodstuff first began out. sooner or later in the time of lunch hour a familiar shopper informed the cook dinner he needed his meat ball earlier than later. (those meat balls pass between 2 slices of bread.) In anger the cook dinner squashed the beef ball to make it greater flat to be certain that it to cook dinner swifter. because it seems the shopper enjoyed the belief and the Hamburger became born. "White fortress" became the 1st hamburger chain interior the worldwide.

the first recorded serving of a "hamburg" style steak, between to buns was @ the 1904 world's fair in St. Louis Mo
