Seriously. Search Google for "National Hamburger Month" and check out the hits. There's a lot of them, including one from Johnny Rockets, a hamburger chain that opened in June of 1986 on Melrose Ave. in Los Angeles.
They have a list of thirteen (what a coincidence -- Thursday Thirteen material, except that I wouldn't dare plagiarize their list) interesting facts about hamburgers. Here's a couple of items from that list.
The hamburger made its début in America at the St. Louis World's Fair of 1904.
The cheeseburger was invented in 1924 by chef Lionel Sternberger of Pasadena, Calif.
This leads me to one question... Why did it take twenty years for someone to think of putting a slice of cheese on a hamburger?
