Fast, tasty, and certainly addictive—these are the
obvious adjectives to describe burgers. When the distinct flavor of beef
patties meet the soft and fluffy buns, you can’t help it but to dig into the
wonderful gourmet creation of burger has to offer. Burgers are among the most
favorite meals of Australians, especially those living in the Rushcutters Bay,
especially those who crave for authentic beef goodness. The great thing about
burgers is that you can eat it on the go, or savor its taste while at your
favorite burger joint – you can never go wrong with this mouth-watering meal.
While burgers are universally famous, not everyone
has a good idea about its origins and extensive influence culture-wise. In this
regard, let’s count down some of the more interesting facts about hamburgers. The
name “hamburger” originally came from Hamburg steaks that German immigrants
introduced to Americans. The distinct taste of the Hamburg steak made an impact
in the U.S. that it instantly gained following among steak lovers. Americans
fell in love with the taste, and as they say, everything else is history.
Most burgers and cheese burgers served in commercial
restaurants and fast food joints are made of 70% beef. However, some
restaurants are introducing 100% beef to cater to consumers that always crave
for beef goodness without any compromise. These days, the more percentage of
beef there is in a burger, the higher the price is published. Many food
historians contend that the birthplace of the first hamburgers is in the U.S.
but the specific state or city is still debatable. However, it is widely
accepted that modern burgers were first introduced in the State of Texas,
specifically in Athens. It is suggested that the first burgers were first
served as early as the 1880s in Athens, Texas.
Before the 1900s, burgers were only enjoyed by the
locals Athens, Texas, but after the St. Louis World’s Fair in 1904 (when
burgers were introduced), its popularity spread like wildfire. Since then, many
homes and restaurants in the U.S. created their own versions of burgers,
spreading the popularity of the burger we know today. Hamburgers are so popular
these days that billions of them are consumed every year. According to
statistics, in the U.S. alone, more than 14 billion burgers are consumed every
year. Burgers are also extremely popular in Australia that Australians also
consume billions of burgers every year!
Burgers are so popular that folks in Seymour,
Wisconsin established the Hamburger Hall of Fame, which pays homage the long
and rich history of burgers. The Hall of Fame also conducts the Annual
Hamburger Festival that features different kinds of burgers from different
parts of the world.Today there are many types of burgers sold in restaurants
and fast food joints. There are burgers made of chicken, pork, and even tofu to
cater to the cravings of vegetarians. Even each and every restaurant has its
own signature burger, proving that your imagination is the only limit when it
comes to burger creation.
After a tiring day at Rushcutters Bay, there is
nothing better to eat than a hearty burger. This is why burgers are so popular
in Australia. This is why it is not surprising that many Rushcutters Bay
restaurants offer juicy and tasty burgers. If you’re visiting the area, don’t
forget to grab a burger or two from one of the different Rushcutters
Bay restaurants.
Burgers indeed revolutionized the way we think of
sandwiches, they made eating fast food more interesting and mouth-watering.
Because of the extreme popularity of burgers, there is no sign that the burger
revolution is stopping anytime soon.
