Answer 3

It was invented in America somewhere. It's how fast food first started out. One day during lunch hour a regular customer told the cook he needed his meat ball sooner than later. (These meat balls go between two slices of bread.) In anger the cook squashed the meat ball to make it more flat in order for it to cook faster. As it turns out the customer loved the idea and the Hamburger was born. "White Castle" was the first hamburger chain in the world.
