Today is National Cheeseburger Day, which is celebrated each year on September 18. Legend has it that the cheeseburger was created by Lionel Sternberger, a teenaged cook working in his father’s Pasadena California restaurant, in the 1920’s. Although the story can’t be authenticated, it makes sense that someone would want to embellish a grilled burger to “beef up” the satiety value, and cheese seems to have been the perfect food with which to do so. The Web site, http://www.cheese-burger.net/history gives more information about the history of the cheeseburger.
