Hamburger Day

Celebrate the humble, but delicious hamburger on May 28, Hamburger Day.

While the hamburger owes its name to the city of Hamburg in Germany, the hamburger, as it is known and loved today worldwide – a meat patty wedged inside two slices of bun, is distinctly an American invention.

The unofficial holiday is also sometimes known as National Hamburger Day.

How to Celebrate?

Eat hamburgers for all your meals on this day.
Gourmet up your burgers by adding toppings like caramelized onions and mushrooms and blue cheese.
Host a backyard barbecue and treat your guests to delicious homemade burgers.

Did You Know…

…that during the Second World War, American soldiers tried to rename the hamburger as liberty burger.

When a patient was wheeled into our emergency room, I was the nurse on duty. "On a scale of zero to ten," I asked her, "with zero representing no pain and ten representing excruciating pain, what would you say your pain level is now?"

She shook her head. "Oh, I don't know. I'm not good with math."

Our company was conducting free body mass index checkups. When a stout colleague climbed onto the machine, it spit out a slip of paper telling him what his weight-to-height ratio was and what it ought to be.

"What does it say?" I asked.

He replied, "I need to increase my height by six inches."

The Mexican restaurant looked great. Only one problem: It wasn't open. So I jotted down the name for another day. Just then, a man came out of the restaurant and took a peek at what I'd written.

"That's not the name of the restaurant," he said, pointing to the sign over the door. "That's Spanish for 'Closed on Mondays.'"

A friend and I were watching a film when a character called another a nymphomaniac.

"What's that mean?" she asked.

"It's a female who's addicted to sex," I answered.

"What do they call males who are addicted to sex?"

"Men."
