Burgers

The hamburger is no doubt the most global sandwich ever created. Its origins date back to the nineteenth century with the departure of Germans from the port of Hamburg towards a welcoming America. This sandwich, made of cooked minced meat served between two pieces of bread, became the standard dish of these trans-Atlantic crossings.

Once in the United States, ‘steak cooked Hamburg-style’ quickly found a place in the restaurants around New York harbour. It attracted a number of homesick Germans, but also people from all corners of the globe.
