A Bite of History

The hamburger made its first recorded appearance in America at the Louisiana Purchase Exhibition in St. Louis, Missouri, in 1904.

Chef Shiri Says…   

Use cold hands if you can. This prevents the meat from heating up and becoming rubbery. (You can just wash your hands with cold water first.)

  • Ask an adult to fry the burgers over medium heat.  Fry for 5 minutes on each side.
