Louis' Lunch

"Tradition runs deep at Louis’ Lunch, where four generations of the Lassen family still run one of the oldest family-owned restaurants in the country. While several cities lay claim to the invention of the hamburger, Louis’ Lunch is cited by the Library of Congress as the home of the hamburger sandwich. The shop is known for doing things one way — and only one way. Their signature order, The Original Burger, is made with a proprietary blend of five fresh-ground beef cuts, cooked vertically in original cast-iron grills dating back to 1898. It’s served on toasted white bread with tomato, onion, and cheese spread as “the only acceptable garnish,” according to the family. The rules are simple: no ketchup, and no custom orders. Pair your burger sandwich with a local Foxon Park soda, and you’ve got a burger that hasn’t changed in over a century."

"Visto in un video di Mochohf. Consigliato per la storia (si dice che sia il posto dove è nato l’hamburger). Molto affollato, cibo forse non all’altezza della storia del locale. Ciononostante se si ci trova in zona è consigliato andare."

"The restaurant that invented the hamburger"

"visited Oct 24, 2023 Make a note — over the centuries, the dining experience has not changed. You are served now the same way as were those more than hundred years ago. The original recipe and preparation also remain intact. Even the bread toaster and three cast iron grills are those that were installed here in 1885. The burger patties are hand rolled from the signature five meat blend and cooked to the absolute perfection. There are no condiments to distract from the real taste of phenomenal beef and no buns — just two slices of toast like it used to be, tomato, and a slice of charred onion. A side potato salad — creamy, chunky, and perfectly seasoned — comes in a styrofoam cup. It is not pictured here. I had no will power to stop eating it for a capture — a masterpiece of simplicity. And the white birch to round it up. The place is so treasured by locals and those who know, that when it was threatened with demolition, fans from all over the world chipped in to not only lift and move the original building to a new location. To properly restore it, people from everywhere sent matching bricks to fill in the gaps. Inside, there’s one large table, two face-to-face ones, two bar stools, and a few side-by-side booths that you will never find anywhere today."

"Birthplace of the hamburger "

@

"Parmi les incontournables de l'Amérique : le hamburger ! L'histoire locale veut qu'un ancien propriétaire des lieux, Louis Lassen, soit l'inventeur de ce sandwich aujourd'hui mondialement connu. En 1900 (l'établissement est ouvert depuis 1895 !), un homme très pressé entra dans le restaurant et demanda au maître des lieux de lui confectionner quelque chose de chaud qu'il puisse déguster en marchant. C'est ainsi qu'est né le hamburger. Aujourd'hui le Louis' Lunch perpétue la tradition et propose des hamburgers cuisinés "  the old fashioned way . ""
