There are many theories to the beginning of the cheeseburger dating back to the 1920s. One story suggests that Lionel Sternberger invented the cheeseburger in 1926 while working at his father’s Pasadena, California sandwich shop, The Rite Spot. During an experiment, he dropped a slice of American cheese on a sizzling hamburger.
However, like numerous iconic foods, many people and restaurants claim the origin story. For example, a restaurant in Los Angeles called O'Dell's placed the cheeseburger on their menu in 1928. It came smothered with chili - all for the price of a quarter. Kaelin's Restaurant in Louisville, Kentucky claims they invented the cheeseburger in 1934. One record that gives the Humpty Dumpty Drive-In in Denver, CO bragging rights is the trademark they received in 1935 for the name "cheeseburger." Another who applied for a trademark of that word was Gus Belt, the founder of Steak n' Shake. Sometime in the 1930s he also applied for the trademark.
