🍔 On this day in 1900, Louis Lassing of Connecticut (US) is said to have created what we now know as the hamburger — a humble beef patty between two slices of bread that would go on to conquer the world! 🌍

Of course, others claim it was first served at the 1904 St. Louis World's Fair, or even earlier by Charlie Nagreen in 1889. But no matter where it began, we’re just glad it exists! 🙌

Where's the best burger in Melbourne? 🍔👇
