National Cheeseburger Day is celebrated every year on September 18th, and while no one knows exactly who started it, one thing is clear—Americans were more than happy to join in! The cheeseburger itself has a fun, somewhat debated history. Some say it was invented in the 1920s when a teenage cook in Pasadena, California, plopped a slice of cheese on a sizzling burger just to see how it tasted.
