Monday, May 28th is National Hamburger Day!

Monday, May 28th is National Hamburger Day! There is nothing quite like biting into a delicious hamburger! The hamburger has been a staple in the American culture for a long time and that's probably why there is an entire day dedicated to it. In case you haven't put it together yet, Memorial Day is also on Monday. What are the odds that National Hamburger Day would fall on Memorial Day? Why not celebrate National Hamberger Day at the best waterfront bar and grill at the Lake of the Ozarks! For now, learn some facts about hamburgers!


History of the Hamburger 

We are not sure when National Hamburger Day was created but we are glad that they did! Food history always vary based on where you are from but here are a few theories of who created the first hamburger!

Ancient Egyptians 

Some say that the hamburger dates all the way back to Egypt. It is said that they would prepare ground meat (probably wasn't beef) formed into patties with spices

Genghis Khan Mongol Army 

The Genghis Khan Mongol Army was also known for eating ground meat patties. However, their version of the hamburger is not quite what we are used to.... It is said that they would place meat patties under their saddle bags so when they rode their horses it would tenderize the meat. They would also eat it raw... This eventually made its way into Russia and spread from there from trade routes. While that was probably a delicacy back then, we sure are glad for our modern American Burger!

Fun Facts About Hamburgers! 

  • Of all sandwiches sold, Hamburgers account for more than half of all sandwich sales
  • In America alone, an average of 50 billion burgers are consumed a year
  • The oldest restaurant chain that sells hamburgers in White Castle 
  • Cheese wasn't a staple on hamburgers until the 1920s
  • McDonald's sells 75 Hamburgers a second
