5. HAMBURGER HISTORY
According to Wikipedia. History hamburger. 2006, the hamburger is a ground meat
patty between two slices of bread; it was first created in America in 1900 by Louis
Lassen, owner of Louis' Lunch in NewHaven, Connecticut. There have been rival claims
by Charlie Nagreen, Frank and Charles Menches, Oscar Weber Bilby, and Fletcher
David. White Castle traces the origin of the hamburger to Hamburg, Germany with its
invention by Otto Kuase. However, it gained national recognition at the 1904 St. Louis
World's Fair when the New York Tribune namelessly attributed the hamburger as, "the
innovation of a food vendor on the pike."] No conclusive claim has ever been made to
end the dispute over the inventor of the hamburger with a variety of claims and evidence
asserted since its creation.
Today, hamburgers are usually a feature of fast food restaurants. The hamburgers
served in major fast food establishments are usually mass-produced in factories and
frozen for delivery to the site. These hamburgers are thin and of uniform thickness,
differing from the traditional American hamburger prepared in homes and conventional
restaurants, which is thicker and prepared by hand from ground beef. Generally most
American hamburgers are round, but some fast-food chains, such as Wendy's, sell
square-cut hamburgers. Hamburgers in fast food restaurants are usually grilled on a flat-
top, but some firms, such as Burger King, use a gas flame grilling process. At
conventional American restaurants, hamburgers may be ordered "rare", but normally are
served medium-well or well-done for food safety reasons. Fast food restaurants do not
usually offer this option.In Caqueta State, there is not an exactly date which indicates
when the plantain hamburger was first prepared neither who prepared it, but people
know it was many years ago.
