National Hamburger Month timeline

1960s

“Super-size it!”

As fast-food burger chains compete more and more intensely, patties increase in size, resulting in McDonald’s “Big Mac” and Burger King’s “Whopper.”

1916

No “ivory tower” here…

Chef and entrepreneur Walter "Walt" Anderson opens a hamburger stand in Kansas, his business eventually leading to the successful White Castle restaurant chain.

1904

“Old Dave” stakes his claim

In a contested piece of historical fact, Fletcher “Old Dave” Davis of Athens, Texas, invents the hamburger, serving a beef patty between two slices of bread at the St. Louis World’s Fair.

1900

An alternate theory

Connecticut blacksmith and preacher Louis Lassen receives credit for creating the first hamburger — though as we’ve seen there is room for debate.

Invention theory #1

Fletcher Davis of Athens, Texas, perhaps invented the hamburger, serving a beef patty between two slices of bread. However this fact, much like everything else about the invention of the burger, is up for debate.

During National Hamburger Month, May of every year, it’s only natural to wonder about the origins of America’s favorite sandwich. Who is the true inventor? From what country or state did the very first hamburgers emigrate to our U.S. restaurant tables and backyard grills? We can faithfully report that there are almost as many claims of inventorship as there are hamburger styles, which of course comprise every variation from Kobe beef to vegetarian meat substitutes to salmon to the popular 80/20 ground beef.

The name “hamburger” derives, of course, from the city of Hamburg, Germany. Some residents of Hamburg were headed as far west as the eastern shores of the United States during the 18th century. Many of them brought a snack called the “Hamburgh sausage.” This snack, like its cousin the “Rundstück warm,” combined a meatball similar to the Swedish meatball with a slice of bread for utensil-free handling. We’ll give you a bonus bit of trivia for your first barbecue this spring: the words “wiener” and “frankfurter” also derive from the names of German cities, Vienna and Frankfurt, respectively. (Remember that German W’s sound like V’s.)
