The origin of the hamburger is unknown and we will perhaps never know with absolute certainty who was the first to combine two slices of bread and a steak of ground beef. What we do know, however, is that all the various inventors of this now global dish came up with the idea between 1885 and 1904. There are no written records, but only verbal statements supporting these different claims of invention. The birth of the burger is directly linked to the changing culinary needs of people who, due to the pressures of industrialization and rapidly transforming society, had less time to prepare their meals. The modern hamburger and fast food in general started to spread to countries outside the U.S. after World War II. You can have a burger everywhere in the world, but the best results are created at home, where you can control the preparation process and the freshness of the ingredients.
