Fire up the grill to celebrate National Hamburger Day this Saturday, May 28th. The hamburger we know and love today has a tricky history. Precisely when and where the recipe originated is up for debate. What is known for certain is that the hamburger gets its name from the German city of Hamburg and gained worldwide recognition at the 1094 World’s Fair in St. Louis. What’s not to love about the hamburger? It’s simple by design and endlessly customizable, a single beef patty between two baked buns and topped with anything from lettuce, tomato, onions and pickles to ketchup, mustard, bacon and cheese. Whether you love yours with a swirl of ketchup and mustard or piled high with everything on it, there are so many ways to top a burger. Check out our hamburger recipe collection for some tasty ideas.
