Today's Reason to Celebrate

September 18, 2009 was

National Cheeseburger Day

Fire up the grill or head to your favorite restaurant because today is National Cheeseburger Day! 

There are several theories about the origins of the cheeseburger. First said to be created between 1924 and 1926 by a chef named Lionel Sternberger in Pasadena, California, the story says that a homeless man suggested Sternberger should add a slice of cheese to his hamburger order. He complied, added it to his menu and the rest is history. 

Since then cheeseburgers have become a staple at American cookouts and restaurants. Hungry yet? We hope you enjoy National Cheeseburger Day today!
