The name “hamburger” is derived from the German city of Hamburg. While people have been eating cooked meat on bread for centuries, the association with Hamburg seems to stem from a 1758 recipe for a dish called the “Hamburg Sausage.”

There’s no consensus on who actually created the iconic food. Numerous deli and diner owners across the United States claim responsibility for inventing the burger. However, historians generally agree that the burger gained popularity at the 1904 World’s Fair in St. Louis, an event that also introduced the ice-cream cone.

Whether its at a backyard bbq or a quick drive through meal on a hectic night, the hamburger is easily a favourite among every age and stage of life.  What’s your favourite burger?
