The origin of the hamburger remains hotly disputed, as multiple claimants including 'Hamburger Charlie,' Fletcher Davis, and Oscar Weber Bilby vie for its title.
The Library of Congress recognized Louis' Lunch in New Haven as the 'Birthplace of the Hamburger Sandwich' in 2016, yet debates persist on its true origins.
Hamburg long had a steak that influenced American ground beef traditions, but the contemporary hamburger likely emerged when it was served between slices of bread.
The evolution of the hamburger reflects the wider American culinary experience, with German immigration playing a crucial role in shaping its modern form and recognition.
