The Cheeseburger

An American cheeseburger is designed to be loved. The gooey cheese, ground beef and toasted buns make it a global favourite, even having its own day: The National Cheeseburger Day, September 18.

Invented by Lionel Sternberger in 1924 in Pasadena, the cheeseburger cost 15 cents at that time and was called the Aristocratic Hamburger.

Hard to believe, but Sternberger invented the cheeseburger!
