STORY OF THE HAMBURGER

The hamburger is the most eaten fast food in the whole world. The first hamburgers were made and
sold in Connecticut in 1895 by an American called Louis Lassen. Louis called them hamburgers because
he was given the recipe by sailors from Hambourg in Germany.
Hamburgers became a favourite meal in America in the early part of the twentieth century. Their
popularity grew even more after the second world war, when they were bought in large quantities by
teenagers who preferred fast food to family meals. In 1948 two brothers Dick and Mac Donald opened a
drive-in hamburger restaurant in San Bernardino, California.
Since then over 25,000 Mcdonald's restaurants were opened worldwide and now 35 million
MacDonald's hamburgers are eaten every day in 115 countries from India to the Artic Circle.
In Colombia, hamburgers are everywhere. They are prepared with different recipes. Some are sold in
streets and others in fine restaurants. Despite this is not a colombian typical food, many people love to
eat them. Friends or families like to go out to have them.
