National Burger Day is celebrated annually on the Thursday preceding a bank holiday weekend in August. This year’s event occurs on August 24. Burgers are delicious and efficient fast food. Burgers can be prepared in numerous methods and topped with a variety of ingredients to suit the individual’s preferences. This is why it is one of the most popular cuisines and why so many people appreciate and enjoy it. To commemorate this, Mr. Hyde, a daily email service for males that featured lifestyle content, created National Burger Day.
The first dish resembling a burger was created in Rome in the first century A.D. It consisted of minced meat seasoned with pine nuts, chiles, and wine and garum. Mongols did not tenderise and consume flesh on the go until the 13th century A.D., 12 centuries later. They were renowned as ferocious cavalry who employed formidable combat strategies to win every battle. They carried thick portions of beef under their saddles that became tenderised during the day’s riding due to their efficiency and intelligence. The rider could then readily consume the meat. Then, in 1747, a hamburger ‘prototype’ known as Hamburg sausage appeared in Hannah Glasse’s ‘The Art of Cookery Made Plain and Easy’. She describes a smoked sausage made with minced beef, pepper, cloves, nutmeg, garlic, vinegar, salt, and red wine, which is to be served on toast. By 1802, “The Oxford English Dictionary” includes an entry for “Hamburg steak,” which is a salted, minced, faintly smoked, and breadcrumb-coated beef mixture.
It is believed that Frank and Charles Menches, who were operating a travelling concession stand at the 1885 Erie County Fair in Hamburg, New York, devised the burger. When they ran out of pork sausages, they began placing ground beef on their sandwiches, thereby producing burgers. In the same year at the Seymour Fair in Wisconsin, 15-year-old Charlie Nagreen compressed beef meatballs between slices of bread so that they could be eaten while strolling. Then, in 1891, Oscar Weber Wilby and his wife Fanny made the first flame-grilled beef patties and served them between two buns for the Fourth of July.
Walter Anderson, a cook, and Billy Ingram, an entrepreneur, opened their first restaurant in 1921 in Wichita, Kansas, and altered the course of hamburger history with their design, cooking, and method of serving. In 1948, the McDonald brothers began producing hamburgers in California and grew to become the world’s largest fast-food chain. In 1953, Burger King was founded in Florida, becoming the most formidable competitor to McDonald’s.

Hamburg, Germany immigrants introduced Hamburg steaks to the United States and opened restaurants — it was challenging to eat the steak between two slices of bread, leading to the creation of the ‘hamburger sandwich.’
Every year, nearly 50 billion hamburgers are consumed in the United States.
Approximately 60 percent of all sandwiches sold worldwide are hamburgers.
In 1921, the first hamburger was sold for five cents in a restaurant.
