Who doesn't love a good burger every now and then? I like cooking my own on the grill. There are a couple of burger joints that aren't too bad, but nothing spectacular around here.
Meet the American who made us flip for hamburgers, Louis Lassen, Danish immigrant street-wagon cookLouis Lunch is so old-school there is no history class.
American hamburger history, at least, begins right here. The New Haven, Connecticut eatery is considered the birthplace of a national culinary treasure.
The hamburger — specifically, the hamburger sandwich – was by many accounts first created and served by its namesake, Louis Lassen, an immigrant from Denmark.
Lassen arrived in the United States around the age of 20 and began feeding New Haven factory workers from a food wagon in 1895.
He placed sizzling ground beef between two slices of bread in 1900 for a "quick and delicious" lunch, as told by local lore.
The hamburger sandwich was born! That is, according to the most common origin story, at least.
