Louis’ Lunch, New Haven

Original hamburgers (l; $)

Louis Lunch - Classic Diner - New Haven - CT - USA

Louis’ Lunch claims to have invented the hamburger when a time-pressed customer said, “Louie! I'm in a rush, slap a meatpuck between two planks and step on it!"

While there are other claimants to being first burger, Louis’ Lunch can’t be far off the mark; it’s been serving food since 1895.
