Home of the Hamburger

Filed under: Uncategorized — asteeves @ 4:42 pm

Thankfully Wednesday, Feb. 21 was a nice sunny day.  It made for a pleasant walk to Louis Lunch on Crown Street in New Haven.  I had been reading alot about Louis Lunch.  It seems that Athens, Texas wants to proclaim their town the home of the hamburger.  New Haven had already made that claim to fame.  Local newspapers, both articles and editorial coverage started.  After doing some ancillary reseach on this, I discovered that the New Haven area was the birthplace for many significant firsts.  So, it was fitting that I experience my first visit to Louis Lunch that sunny Wednesday afternoon.  Stay tuned…Monday I’ll continue with a full report on my experience at Louis Lunch.

  1. I’ve always been a Louis fan, and Texas — feh, what do they know about burgers. Stick to chili, guys, you’re good at that. But I have to say that if my doctor told me that, starting tomorrow, I could never eat another burger, walk a few blocks to the Yankee Doodle.
