WHERE'S THE BEEF? Louis Lassen changed the course of American culinary history with a treat that still delights families to this day.
"The restaurant is so popular that when, in 1974, its owners faced eviction to make way for New Haven’s sweeping urban renewal program, New Haven residents protested," local historian Owen Rogers wrote last year for ConnecticutHistory.org. The hamburger is not an American invention. Ground beef patties came from Hamburg, Germany, where they were served as an entrée.
The American innovation, Lassen's innovation, was making the hamburger mobile by serving it as a sandwich. "With a meat grinder and a streak of that infamous Yankee ingenuity, Louis Lassen changed the course of American culinary history." George Motz is the author"Hamburger America" and"The Great American Burger Book." He disputes the Louis Lunch hamburger sandwich origin story, but is also one of the Connecticut eatery's biggest fans.
Louis Lunch flame-broils every hamburger in the same 125-year-old Bridge Beach & Co. cast-iron ovens first used by founder Louis Lassen when he invented the hamburger sandwich. Louis Lunch of New Haven, Connecticut, is credited with inventing the hamburger sandwich in 1900. The menu today includes only hamburgers or cheeseburgers with a choice of onion or tomato; sides include only potato chips or potato salad, with sodas from local maker Foxon Park Beverages.
Louis Lassen, an immigrant from Denmark, is credited with inventing the hamburger sandwich at his eatery Louis Lunch in New Haven, Connecticut, in 1900.What’s not in doubt is that Danish immigrant Lassen was instrumental in popularizing the hamburger in the United States. "Americans consume more than 50 billion burgers each year … an average of nearly three burgers per week for every American."That’s an average of nearly three burgers per week for every American man, woman and child.
