Ever want to know where burgers originated from?

Germany is the origin of the Hamburger if I am not mistaken.

If you do not know the power of Hardees then you must try their burgers. (now they have curly Fries just like Arby's too)

Here's something interesting:

New Haven, CT
Several sources, mostly Connecticut based, make a claim that the sandwich was invented in 1895 in New Haven, CT. Local newspaper accounts say that Louis Lassen, on emigrating from Denmark in 1880, sold butter and egs and then leased a lunch wagon in 1895. He first specialized in a steak sandwich with thin slices of meat. He would take the trimmings home and grind them up to serve as patties or meat loaf to his family. Although some of the sources claim 1895 as the date for the sandwich, the Lassen family usually says 1900. Once when confronted with the Athens, TX, claim for Uncle Fletch Davis, Kenneth Lassen, Louis' grandson, was quoted as saying, "We have signed, dated and notarized affadavits saying we served the first hamburger sandwiches in 1900. Other people may have been serving the steak but there's a big difference between a hamburger steak and a hamburger sandwich." (Lassen quoted in Review Staff 1991). The sandwich was sold between pieces of bread and soon became the bulk of Lassen's lunch business.

Louis' Lunch is still selling their hamburgers from a small brick building in New Haven. The sandwich is grilled vertically in antique gas grills and served between pieces of toast rather than a bun.

Here's the resturant:

Damn, I meant to go to that resturaunt before I went to college.

In n Out is the best....though its only in California and a FEW parts of Arizona. The most disgusting thing is Okidog...its a little shack in Hollywood...that shit will give you a heart attack on the spot. Its pretty much a giant ass tortilla with a bunch of grease and fat in it....and that nasty dog meat/shit chilly --; Even their fries are shiny from all the grease --; But In N Out is the best for burgers but yeah...you wouldnt know if you didnt live in Cali or a few cities in AZ.

That place was also mentioned by the Food Network (I forgot the name of that show). The thing is that YOU ARE NOT ALLOWED TO ASK FOR CONDIMENTS FOR YOUR BURGER. The owners stresses that indefinetely because he feels there's no need for ketchup or mustard.
