Charlie Nagreen 1885, Seymour, Wisconsin. The earliest claim in U.S. history to creating the hamburger is from the city of Seymour, Wisconsin. According to local history, a vendor named Charlie Nagreen served the world's first hamburger at the Seymour Fair of 1885. After becoming frustrated that the meatballs he was attempting to grill were taking too long to cook, Charlie reportedly decided to flatten a meatball with his spatula to decrease the grilling time and he placed it between slices of bread to increase portability.
Menches Brothers 1885, Akron, Ohio. Another claim comes from Akron, Ohio. Local history recorded that Frank and Charles Menches ran out of pork for their sausage patty sandwiches at the 1885 Erie County Fair. Their supplier, reluctant to butcher more hogs in the summer heat, suggested they use beef instead. The brothers fried some up, but found it bland. They added coffee, brown sugar, and other ingredients to create a taste which stands distinct without condiments. They christened this sandwich the "hamburger" after Hamburg, New York where the fair was being held. A little known fact is that the Original Hamburger indeed had its own recipe spiced with coffee and brown sugar - much different from what most Americans have tasted over the last one hundred years. The original recipe is featured at Menches Brothers Restaurants.
Fletcher Davis late 1880s, Athens, Texas. In 1974, The New York Times ran a story about Louis' Lunch and stated that a serious challenge to the title of inventing the hamburger is a theory supported by the McDonald's Corporation, the nationwide hamburger chain. An unknown McDonald's historian claims the inventor was an unknown food vendor at the St. Louis World's Fair in 1904 even though this has not been corroborated. Newspaper columnist, amateur Texas historian, and restaurateur Frank X. Tolbert asserted that this food vendor was Fletcher Davis. Davis operated a café at 115 Tyler Street on the north side of the courthouse square in Athens, Texas, in the late 1880s. Local lore holds that Davis was selling an unnamed sandwich of ground beef at his lunch counter at that time. In 1904, Davis and his wife Ciddy, with backing from local business, took their sandwich to the 1904 World's Fair. Fletcher and Ciddy Davis launched their invention from "Old Dave's Hamburger Stand", located on the midway at the fair. A reference to a New York Tribune article written at the time about the fair called a hamburger the innovation of a food vendor on the pike. Tolbert claimed that Old Dave was Fletcher Davis from Athens. Others support this theory even though the article cannot be found in the archives of the New York Tribune newspaper. During the 1980s Dairy Queen ran a commercial filmed in Athens, calling the town the birthplace of the hamburger. In November 2006, The Texas State Legislature introduced Bill HCR-15, designating Athens as the "Original Home of the Hamburger".
Louis Lassen 1895, New Haven, Connecticut. Some believe the first hamburgers were served at Louis' Lunch, a sandwich shop established in 1895 in New Haven. The small lunch counter is credited by some with having invented this quick businessman's meal when Louis' sandwiched a hamburger between two pieces of white toast for a busy office worker in 1900. Louis' Lunch flame broils the hamburgers in the original 1898 Bridge & Beach vertical cast iron gas stoves using locally patented steel wire broilers to hold the hamburgers in place while they cook. In 2000, the United States Library of Congress credited Louis' Lunch with making America's first hamburger [[1]].
White Castle, 1921, Wichita, Kansas. Due to widely prevalent anti-German sentiment in the USA during the World War I, an alternative name for hamburgers was salisbury steak. Even after the war, hamburgers' popularity was severely depressed until the White Castle chain of restaurants created a business model featuring sales of large numbers of small hamburgers. White Castle holds a U.S trademark on "slyders". The original "Salisbury steak", however, was simply well-cooked plain, bunless beef patty, and was "invented" in 1888 by Dr. James H. Salisbury, an English physician. Today, Salisbury steak usually contains egg, bread crumbs and seasonings and is topped with gravy. A thin, fried, hamburger steak is sometimes referred to as a "minute steak". In many parts of the U.S., the same term is sometimes used for a thin, mechanically tenderized piece of round steak.
