How Did National Cheeseburger Day Start?
Before the cheeseburger came the hamburger, which originated at the start of the 1900s. It is said that a teenager, named Lionel Sternberger, was the first to put a slice of cheese on top of a burger while working in his father’s sandwich shop. Both he and his father loved this new style of burger and it became a staple in 1924.
The cheeseburger is now an American classic that is loved by many. Although there are lots of various types and adaptations, the classic cheeseburger is made up of a ground beef patty and topped with American cheese.
