Since Public Radio opened up the topic, I might as well put it up- the perfect intersection of my favorite topics- economics, history and food.
Although I thought we we here before, a debate continues about the origin of the hamburger. Was it invented in New Haven, Athens Texas, or somewhere in Wisconsin?
Culinary Historians disagree, as it should be. But the most important question that will be debated eternally is: where is the best burger now?
My personal favorite is Port of Call in New Orleans, but please let me know what you think.
I guess I will have to show this in class, after the AP Exam.
Check out an early Mc Donald's commercial here.
Below, find an interesting way to prepare hamburgers- deep fried in 90 year old oil. As the owner says- "It's all about the grease".

In the video one of the guys interviewed says that he went to the burger place around 20 years ago, and at that time there were two doors one said "colored" and one said "white". If it were twenty years ago that would make it mid 1980's, but the doctorine of separate but equal was overturned in 1954. wtf?
Probably hadn't had a paint job for a while, doesn't mean that the segregation was enforced.
Ok dose it really mater where the hamburger originated from. The only thing that maters is that the hamburger is heavenly. I am a lover of Chinese, and Italian food, (though I don’t even know what most of the stuff I eat is called), but nothing lifts my spirits or fills me up good more then a fat juicy hamburger. The hamburger is definitely an American classic and the best thing that God gave this green earth.
This made me feel wonderful since i ate a hamburger last night i felt it was in need to watch this video. Of course my hamburger wasn't deep fired so i don't feel too guilty. i think the hamburger is probably one of the greatest foods. Good choice with this one Mr.Rood
