Firkin Factoid National Hamburger Day Thursday, May 28th According to the American Heritage Dictionary, the term "hamburger" comes from Hamburg steak, which was first recorded in English in 1884 but was probably used much earlier. A form of pounded beef called "Hamburg Steak" was common in Hamburg in the middle of the 19th century. Americans consume 14 billion a year and buy 5 billion hamburgers. Order our Old Fashioned Burger on Hamburger Day (May 28th) and add your toppings for no additional charge!
