**Burgers: The Source of True Happiness**

It’s hard to argue with the fact that burgers bring a certain joy with every bite. Whether it’s the rich, melted cheese, the tangy crunch of pickles, or the burst of flavor from a perfectly seasoned patty, burgers are a source of pure satisfaction. For the bolder foodie, perhaps a burger piled high with crispy onion rings, a slathering of smoky barbecue sauce, and a splash of blue cheese hits the spot. Whatever your preference, there’s no denying the burger’s status as the ultimate comfort food.

Burger Day is a celebration of this culinary icon in all its glorious forms.

### A Taste of History

Burger Day was originally established in the UK by *Mr. Hyde*, a lifestyle content email, to honor their favorite food and all the local burger joints they’ve tried and loved. Since 2013, Burger Day has become an annual event dedicated to celebrating the simple, yet perfect, hamburger. As the folks at *Mr. Hyde* put it, “If we say we like a burger place, it’s because we ate there and liked it.”

But where did burgers really come from? The story behind this beloved dish is as layered as the toppings on a gourmet burger. Some say it began in Hamburg, Germany, where ground beef was first used as a way to make the most of leftover cuts. From there, it evolved into the hamburger steak, and eventually found its way into a bun, adding cheese, bacon, and all the other mouth-watering additions we know today.

Another popular origin story credits Louis Lassen, a Danish immigrant in New Haven, who reportedly served the first hamburger patty in 1900. The burger made its official debut at the 1904 St. Louis Food Festival, but it wasn’t until the rise of fast food and mass commercialization that it became a staple of American cuisine.

During the Great Depression, the need for affordable food led to the mass production of burgers, with machines churning out patties to keep up with demand. These tasty, budget-friendly meals found a home at greasy spoon diners, where they quickly became the go-to menu item.
