Today is National Cheeseburger Day

As with most things, many people and restaurants are claiming the cheeseburgers’ origin, going as far back as 1926, when a sloppy 16 year old Lionel Sternberger, while working at his father’s Pasadena, California sandwich shop, dropped a slice of cheese on a burger he was cooking. Although I should not scoff, the sloppy Alexander Fleming, accidentially discovered Penicillin when he didn’t wash up his lab before going on vacation.

But remember, according to a 2022 study from Tulane University, if Americans swapped one serving of beef per day for chicken, their diets’ greenhouse gas emissions would fall by an average of 48 percent and water-use impact by 30 percent. (I’m just saying.)
