Sunday is National Cheeseburger Day, Celebrate With a Free Cheeseburger

You can't get more American than enjoying a good ol' Cheeseburger. This Sunday, September 18 is National Cheeseburger Day and to celebrate there are a few great fast food restaurants that are celebrating the day by giving away free cheeseburgers with any purchase.

Do you know who invented the Cheeseburger? It was a teenager named Lionel Sternberger. According to spruceeats.com and several other food history websites, back in 1924, he was 16 and working at his father's sandwich shop in Pasadena, California. He was cooking a burger and decided to slap a slice of American cheese on the patty and called it a Cheese Hamburger. Then in the 1930s  Kaelin's restaurant in Louisville, Kentucky called it the Cheeseburger and well, the rest is history.
