Where does the Hamburger come from? According to the internet, there are several different stories but I like this one. This place was featured on top places to eat, the next time we go to visit my family in Massachusetts we will be making a stop to this place to check it out..    Louis’ Lunch: This New Haven, Connecticut, burger joint claims to have invented our favorite lunchtime (and dinnertime) meal in 1900. From its website: “One day in the year 1900 a man dashed into a small New Haven luncheonette and asked for a quick meal that he could eat on the run. Louis Lassen, the establishment’s owner, hurriedly sandwiched a broiled  beef patty between two slices of bread and sent  the customer on his way,  so the story goes, with America‘s first hamburger.”
