?️ The History of the Burger
The origins of the burger are a bit hazy, but most food historians trace it back to 19th-century Germany. The city of Hamburg, Germany, was famous for its minced beef steak, which immigrants brought to the United States in the late 1800s. The "Hamburg steak" evolved into the hamburger when someone decided to place it between slices of bread.
By the early 20th century, burgers became a staple at American diners and food carts. The concept exploded in popularity when fast-food chains like McDonald’s and Burger King took off in the mid-20th century. Today, burgers are celebrated worldwide, with endless variations to suit every palate.
