Legend has it that in the 1920s, Lionel Sternberger, a young diner chef in Pasadena, California, somehow overcooked a hamburger. But instead of throwing away the spoiled dish, he decided to disguise it with a small piece of lightly melted cheese. This burger was extremely popular with the visitors. This is how a new type of hamburger appeared, which, thanks to the addition of cheese, got the name "cheeseburger." In honor of the holiday, we suggest you cook a cheeseburger yourself.
