The German delicacy that conquered the world

The German delicacy that conquered the world

Today we celebrate the irresistible delicacy of simple ingredients that conquered even the most demanding palate.

Today, the hamburger is one of the most popular dishes not only in the United States, but all over the world; however, how did this delicious dish become what it is today?

It was during the 19th century in Hamburg, Germany, that one of its dishes was becoming popular: the Hamburg steak, which consisted of minced meat used to make meatballs.

However, what really made this dish evolve into what we believe was "The First hamburger," was simply placing two pieces of round bread. This dish was accompanied by beets, pickles, tomato slices, or even chives.

Did you know that the city of Hamburg was the bridge that managed to connect Germany and the United States of America?

After the migration of Germans to said country, many took the recipe for such an appetizing steak with them, and it wasn't until 1885 that Charlie Nagreen sold this dish at fairs in Wisconsin.

The evolution of the hamburger

During the 20s, the German dish was innovated to the point that Lionel Sternberger added cheese to this delicacy, and in 1921 White Castle, the first fast-food hamburger establishment, was born in Kansas. Its creators? Billy Ingram and Walter Anderson.

Over time, hamburgers became the main menu item in roadside diners and soda shops, where they are also frequently served together with French fries and milkshakes. Does that sound familiar?

Today, hamburgers have diverse specialties and ingredients that make this dish a unique and exquisite delicacy for all tastes, and at Solaris Hotels in Mexico, we have the most delicious ones.
