Burgers have a long history

Although burgers bind to the American continent, their existence is much longer. In Apicius cook, a similar dish is mentioned in the 4th century where beef is mixed with pine grains, black pepper and isicia omentate is called. Other sources have the existence of a burger linked to Genghis Khan and his conquest of Russia, Ukraine and Mongolia.

There are almost no dishes for which there are more legends about the emergence of a burger. According to one story, the modern version was invented by Oto Kause in 1891, which came to America through German emigrants and sailors. The second version attributes credit to the Danish emigrant Luis Lasen, who was selling food on the street in New Haven in 1900. On one occasion, he was left with no steaks, and as it was necessary to serve the client urgently, he sold a minced beef platter, served between two pieces of toast. Zalogaj was so pleased with customers that Lasen continued to prepare him.
Officially, the first burger with this name appeared at the World Trade Fair in St. Louis in 1904.
