STORY OF THE HAMBURGER

The hamburger is the most eaten food in the whole world. The first hamburgers were
made and sold in Connecticut in 1895 by an American called Louis Lassen. Louis
called them hamburgers because he was given the recipe by sailors from Hambourg in
Germany.

Hamburgers became a favorite meal in America in the early part of the twentieth
century. Their popularity grew even more after the second world war, when they were
bought in large quantities by teenagers who preferred fast food to family meals. In
1948 two brothers Dick and Mac Donald opened a drive-in hamburger restaurant in
San Bernardino, California.

Since then, over 25,000 McDonald’s restaurants have been opened worldwide and
now 35 million MacDonald's hamburgers are eaten every day in 115 countries from
India to the Arctic Circle.
