Origins of the hamburger
At Frankie Burgers we invite you not to resist to enjoy your favorite burger since the celebration of this day is a way to recognize its importance and to savor this "sandwich".
The origin of the hamburger, as well as its progress to the present day, reveals how it has permeated the culinary customs of different countries. Each hamburger was created to be crowned as the first choice and favorite among many, but you might be surprised to learn how it all began.
The first culinary sketch was in the year 1900, when Louis Lassen - a German immigrant living in the United States - prepared for the first time a sandwich consisting of bread, lettuce, tomato and cheese. This invention was in response to an urgent request from a customer who asked him for something "fast and delicious". Here, Louis came close, but he lacked the most important ingredient, you know what it is?
Shortly thereafter, in Mexico, after the 1930s, several restaurants began to include in their menus the first hamburgers known to date. However, it was not until 1949 when it began to be institutionalized.
From here, you can imagine the number of restaurants, taverns or bars that offer in our menus this mythical dish, so loved by everyone for its attractive appearance - round and colorful - and that also stands out for its versatility and its ability to reach all audiences, from young to young and old.
In the last decade, the major chefs with Michelin Star have responded to the trend with very unique proposals, some even forming part of exclusive tasting menus. In fact, in 2017 the chef Dutch Diego Buik created the most expensive hamburger in the world valued at 2.300€ and elaborated with beef Japanese Wagyu, Oosterschelde lobster infused with Hermit Dutch Coastal gin, white truffles and Remeker cheese... All these proposals have allowed the hamburger to be considered a gourmet dish as well.
