wee history on Cheeseburgers... Cheeseburgers were invented by Lionel Sternberger in 1924. The 16-year-old fry cook "experimentally dropped a slab of American cheese on a sizzling hamburger" while working at his father's sandwich shop in Pasadena, California. In the years after Sternberger's grilling, other restaurants made the claim they invented the cheeseburger. For example, Kaelin's Restaurant in Louisville, Kentucky claimed to have invented the cheeseburger in 1934.One year later, a trademark for the name "cheeseburger" was awarded to Louis Ballast of the Humpty Dumpty Drive-In in Denver, Colorado
Last week sometime we had a conversation on Cheeseburgers.One thing lead to another, and somehow we ended up setting a date for a Cheeseburger eating comp.The idea is to eat as much as you can in 30minutes. The contenders - Sian,Jordan,Ben,Frank, and myself.
Total burgers eaten 37.. Sian-5,Jordan-8,Frank-6,Ben-9,Ivy-9
