When Was It Invented?

Β According to Wikipedia: there are several competing claims as to who created the first cheeseburger. Lionel Sternberger is reputed to have introduced the cheeseburger in 1924. At 16, he was working as a fry cook at his father’s Pasadena, California sandwich shop. He experimentally dropped a slab of American cheese on a sizzling hamburger.” An early example of the cheeseburger appearing on a menu is a 1928 menu for the Los Angeles restaurant O’Dell’s.Β  They listed a cheeseburger smothered with chili for 25 cents.

Other restaurants also claim to have invented the cheeseburger, like Kaelin’s Restaurant in Louisville, Kentucky. Β  They say they invented it in 1934.[11]Β One year later, aΒ trademarkΒ for the name “cheeseburger” was awarded to Louis Ballast of the Humpty Dumpty Drive-In inΒ Denver, Colorado.
