The Birth of the Cheeseburger:
The cheeseburger, a beloved American classic, is believed to have been invented in the 1920s when teenager Lionel Sternberger added a slice of American cheese to a burger at his father's sandwich shop, The Rite Spot in Pasadena, California.
Trademarked in Denver:
While California claims the invention, the term "cheeseburger" was actually trademarked in Denver, Colorado, in 1935 at the Humpty Dumpty Drive-in. It's a food loved across the United States!
