Welcome to New Haven, one of the pizza capitals of the United States, Yale University, and there happens to be an original restaurant called Louis' Lunch where the modern hamburger was invented. The restaurant is still family run since 1895! First of all you have to appreciate the amazing original building of Louis' Lunch, it s totally frozen in time, literally unchanged, just aged to perfection. It s like a cottage from the outside, and when you step inside you can feel the original charm - there are wooden pulpit like booths, personal seating with burger tables, and then you see the original vertical burger chargrills at the front of the restaurant, and you know you re about to eat the original hamburger! For a little of the history, in Germany they had been eating a Hamburg steak, served like a hamburger steak, yet it hadn t been put into bread to make it a handheld sandwich. As the story goes, the ground beef was brought to New Haven by sailors from Hamburg, Germany. Louis Lassen started serving hamburger steak, and one day when some customers were in a rush, he stuck the hamburger steak between two slices of bread and gave it to them. The sailors loved it, and they actually named it the hamburger. Now, the complete history of the hamburger is not fully known and some argue that it was consecutively invented at the same time across a number of places, but the hamburger story of Louis' Lunch is without a doubt real, and they are surely the ones who made the hamburger popular. If you think about it, this is ground zero - this is where all other burgers originate! Whether you re eating at McDonald's or a gourmet artisanal burger, they all have origins and have been influenced by the original hamburger right here in New Haven! The hamburger by the way is amazing, nothing more and nothing less than you would want. And it s an ultimate food history experience. Warren: Hey Mark I asked them to include the onion slice as the broil the patty (meatball, amazing. Just to see the response I asked for ketchup. everybody stopped talking and the guy pointed the putty knife at the no ketchup sign. Great taste, simple and cultural icon. Put it on the bucket list. Also, pizza, Sally's & Pepe's are the recommended places. go for it!

I really, really loved this video; however, I learned today that, apparently and allegedly, the guy making the burgers makes the toast with the same glove he uses to grab raw beef and smash it down and then he finishes the burgers/bread sandwich with the same glove. Interesting. The more you know!

The place is interesting history wise but makes me think just because it was first doesn't mean it's best. I'd choose a modern burger from any of the known burger places ie Smash Burger, In N Out, etc any day.

Im surprised this place hasn't been closed down with food poisoning, the guy is using the same glove for everything, from handling raw meat to toasting the bread and putting the sandwich together.
