Cheeseburger

I never gave much thought to the cheeseburger’s history. I always assumed that they’d been around forever. But they haven’t.

Here’s a New York Times article from 1947 when cheeseburgers were considered something new and exotic. The author says the beef and cheese combination “may seem bizarre.” I wonder what she would have thought of bacon. She includes a recipe too, for some very small burgers.
