LINKS: What will YOU do for National Cheeseburger Day?

By Erica

Tomorrow, September 18th, is National Cheeseburger Day! ...maybe. According to a website dedicated to holidays, there is no documented origin for this day, nor is it technically an official National holiday. But I don't care!


The cheeseburger was supposedly invented between 1924 and 1926 when a homeless man told chef Lionel Sternberger to put a slice of cheese on his burger. Sternberger then put "cheeseburger" on his menu, and the rest is history. According to a recent survey, 44% of Americans prefer American Cheese on their burgers, while 38% prefer Cheddar cheese.

Happy (unofficial) Cheeseburger Day!
