Happy National Cheeseburger Day!

Happy National cheeseburger day! I wanted to be the first to wish you that today. Unfortunately, I can't take all the credit, actually none of it. But, there is this guy, his name is Lionel Sternberger and according to nationaltoday.com he is the man to take the credit for this wonderful day.

The story goes when Lionel was in his teens back in the 20's  he used to flip burgers at the family restaurant in California. Rumor has it out of curiosity, Lionel threw piece of American cheese onto a hamburger while it was frying and it was born, and the rest is mouth watering, yummy history.

And now most of us carry on this wonderful tradition on our grills, and indulge in the passion at the many restaurants that feature the cheeseburger in all its forms.

Many places are celebrating National Cheeseburger day today. Here's a few local chains that we know have some specials surrounding this mainstay of culinary delight.
