The history of the cheeseburger dates back nearly 100 years (1926) to Pasadena, California where, legend has it, a 16-year-old fry cook dropped a slice of cheese on a hamburger while working at his father’s sandwich shop.

Since then, the cheeseburger has become a staple of our diet, with more than 50 billion consumed each year, with the average American downing three a week.
