NATIONAL HAMBURGER DAY
NATIONAL HAMBURGER DAY
National Hamburger Day on May 28th wraps up National Burger Month and also ushers in the summer grilling season.
#NationalHamburgerDay
Hamburger. Seasoned ground beef, grilled, and placed between two slices of bread or a bun. We even top them with sauteed onions, peppers, pickles, sliced onions, or cheese. Add condiments such as ketchup, mustard, or mayo. Any of these combinations create a modern American version of a hamburger.
Did you know?
The world's largest hamburger was 2,566 lb - 9 oz and achieved in Pilsting, Germany, on 9 July 2017.
Much controversy surrounds the origin of the hamburger. However, it most likely first appeared in the 19th or early 20th centuries. Over the years, the hamburger has become a culinary icon in the United States.
