The History of the Cheeseburger
The origin of the cheeseburger is a subject of debate, with several claims dating back to the early 20th century. One popular story credits Lionel Sternberger, a teenager working at his father's shop in California in 1924, with inventing the cheeseburger by adding a slice of American cheese to a hamburger. Other claims involve The Rite Spot sandwich shop in Pasadena, California (1926), O'Dells in Los Angeles (1928), and Kaelin's Restaurant in Louisville, Kentucky (1934). The Humpty Dumpty Drive-In in Denver even trademarked the term "cheeseburger" in 1935. Regardless of its true origin, the cheeseburger has become a beloved staple across the nation.
