Who doesn't love dipping their teeth into a juicy burger, whether it's a gourmet creation or a trusty classic from a fast food restaurant? The burger saga began in Germany before embarking on a journey to the US with German immigrants in the 1800s. Legend says the first American burger sizzled onto a plate in New York City in 1885. As International Burger Day approaches on 28 May, here are some surprising burger facts that will surely leave you amazed!
1. Over 50 Billion Burgers Are Consumed In America Every Year
