While the hamburger owes its name to the city of Hamburg in Germany, the hamburger, as it is known and loved today worldwide – a meat patty wedged inside two slices of bun, is distinctly an American invention.
The unofficial holiday is also sometimes known as National Hamburger Day.
How to Celebrate?
- Eat hamburgers for all your meals on this day.
- Gourmet up your burgers by adding toppings like caramelized onions and mushrooms and blue cheese.
- Host a backyard barbecue and treat your guests to delicious homemade burgers.
