Burgers were invented in America.

Now sure, the Hamburger is named after Hamburg in Germany. However, the German version is actually the Hamburg steak. In other words, the meat patty. And a patty does not a burger make.

America was the country that put the bun on the hamburger. This, in drag’s opinion, is when the Hamburg steak became the “burger”. A new word, losing the ham and becoming what would be translated from German as “The people’s meal”. An apt description for the American burger.

    Americans made a weird cult out of it. They may do so if they like. :)

    Judging by the name we’ve got ourselves a Lederhosen who’s never had the joy of a proper American burger

    You come to California some time and we’ll show you what we did with our (meine Urgroßmutter wurde in Düsseldorf geboren) culture! I myself spent an entire year perfecting my breading mix and learning to make the perfect pretzel bun to serve them on!

    Like… Ugh, I know what I’m doing this weekend
