FIRKIN FACTOID
May 28th is National Hamburger Day....
The hamburger was first introduced by Texans who attended the 1904 World's Fair in St. Louis. Who invented this culinary staple? Depends on who you talk to. The Athens, Texas folks say native son Fletcher Davis.
Another story is that in 1885 Charles and Frank Menches ran out of pork sausage patties, substitute ground beef, and named their sandwich after the country fair they were at in Hamburg. Still another version has lunch wagon owner Louis Lassing in Connecticut creating the popular meal in 1900. And others insist the hamburger was created at the Canadian National Exhibition in 1912.
Upon further investigation, the hamburger was probably around by the end of the Middle Ages, with the 1802 Oxford English Dictionary defining "Hamburg steak" as salt beef.
