How The World’s First Burger Was Made At Louis’ Lunch | Legendary Eats
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 6 янв 2019
- We visited Louis’ Lunch in New Haven, Connecticut and interviewed the fourth generation owner Jeff Lassen about the history of the restaurant, the story behind the birth of the hamburger, and saw how they make it. We tried the burger out and asked customers how it compares to new, modern burgers.
Instead of buns, Louis' Lunch uses toasted sandwich bread. The burger patties are cooked to a medium-rare, no exceptions.
Every morning, Louis' Lunch's patties are freshly ground with a special blend of beef. As for customization, Louis' Lunch has a strict ordering policy: Absolutely no condiments.
Lassen says they still cook in the same original stoves that Louis' Lunch cooked in from day one.
The whole restaurant is covered in etchings because customers are encouraged to add on to the history at Louis' Lunch.

How The World’s First Burger Was Made At Louis’ Lunch | Legendary Eats
This video had a lot of people finding creative ways to avoid saying they didn't enjoy the burger.
Lool
pretty accurate, lived in new haven my entire life and its a respect thing for the history...but if you crave a burger you def aren't going to louis lunch...especially with the ridiculous prices for their burgers on wonder bread
@Aidan Gallagher EXPOSED
apotheos1s you nailed it bro
Honestly, I wouldn't eat that shit either.
3:13 you can see the burger behind the pepsi can lol
No thats just a plate of a meat patty in between two slices of bread
That's not her order
If people know they are being recorded, dont believe a word they say.
That's Movie Magic

3:14 whatever kills time before i get my burger. Yet the burger is right next to her LMAO
i got the 69th like!
I like how she was trying to find every way to try not to say the burger doesn’t taste good
Well, I guess 120 years prove it’s good!
Huh? She literally said she has never had a burger patty taste so delicious atleast 2 times
she said it’s the best burger patty she’s ever had.
Right

Legend has it that this place was the birth place of the burger lol. Said nobody ever except the people from that town lol
Where else would it be? Before this, the hamburger referred to the hamburger steak. Ground beef, from the city of Hamburg, but it wasn't yet a sandwich.
@philipboardman1357 or as I mentioned in my comment, Swiss steak.
@@philipboardman1357 Fletcher Davis in the 1880s, Athens, Texas. Considering it was just a hamburger steak stuck between two pieces of bread of some sort, I imagine a lot of cooks came up with it on their own, just depends when.
@@MD-jd6ni That's fair. I would also imagine that some people in Hamburg ate it that way.
The Chicago Tribune, on July 5th, 1896, ran a story called 'In A "Sandwich Car"', in which they mention 'Hamburger steak sandwich, the meat for which is kept ready in small patties and "cooked while you wait" on the gasoline range'. And they talk about it as being 'a distinguished favourite'.
So that's a direct reference to a patty in a sandwich, bearing the name "Hamburger", already being popular a few years earlier than the invention date claimed by Louis' Lunch.
It seems it's not really a matter of conjecture about people *probably* having done it! Seriously, there are scans of old newspapers available to download - you can see for yourself in black and white.
Well, black and a sort of off-grey...
Basically the owner would rather you sleep with his wife than ask for ketchup

You can cook this at home. I bought every ingredient fresh, but i used the individually wrapped cheese slices and with sliced bread you really taste the flavor of the meat more that if you used a bun.
Not only can you cook it at home, but pretty much ANYBODY could cook it better.
You can cook it at home, sure. The key is cooking the meat using that method would be a huge difference

Tried this place out on the way to New Hampshire. And the inside is quite interesting if you can find a place to put your burger and a bottled soda. Just remember to ask for the condiments when your order.

@Derek...sorry I had to kill the sound on her, she was so annoying.
Lolol
Yeah "Burger" 😂
That looks like the type of burgers I grew up eating during my childhood. My mom would call them house burgers.
Yep ...same here
House burgers are fine when it’s all you’ve got, but I’m not going out to a restaurant to eat house burgers
And so did Eddie Murphys mom
I love using bread like that. Sometimes when I was growing up when we made burgers we sometimes used bread.
It's the birthplace of the hamburger. Hamburger sandwiches were already mentioned in newspapers by early 1890s, before Louis Lunch was in business.
Edit: it's NOT the birthplace.
Tell me you know nothing about culinary development without telling me you know nothing about culinary development 🤡
*that looks like a struggle meal type of burger* 😂😂

Exactly what it is
The burger you make after you realize you just spent the time to cook the patty and u didn’t buy buns
@@themechanix2311 I ate two of those just yesterday.
And yes, I am struggling.
Considering it was conceived in 1900, I'm willing to bet it probably was a struggle meal. Looks tasty though.
A lot of the best foods came out of struggle
After insufferably ranting about how terrible condiments are they slather disgusting processed cheese all over it. What a joke lmao.
And the guy trying to explain that a regular slice of cheese won't melt when you stick it into fire.
Yeah, bullshit, you're just cutting corners because real cheese is pricey.
I think it’s a cheese sauce, not kraft. Correct me if I’m wrong.
Agreed. I ate here and this place is horrible.
Yeah, burger w/o ketsup but has cheese, ain't that a crime.
Then just order it without the cheese. Problem solved.
Imma go in there wearing a red shirt that says “I love ketchup.” And bring a bottle with me.
Do so at your own peril. I've been there; you just don't understand how passionate the owner is about no condiments.
If you tried to pull a stunt like this, nothing good will come out of it.

Take it to go.. add the ketchup outside
😂😂🤣 wait.....That looks like the Great Depression burger 🤷🏽♂️🤣
I mean it is a burger that will leave you depressed at the state of their food.
No type of seasoning
I guess it’s time for a comeback then
@@tconlon251 yes we may not even have the meat in there the way we heading
At least The Great Depression has better salads!
He uses one glove and one bare hand but touches everything with both.
Which is one more glove than most restaurant cooks use, and somehow we all survive.
I'm 99% sure the only reason he'd wear a glove is if he has an open cut on that hand. When I've been to Louis Lunch, no one wore gloves.
there are many reasons to wear only one glove. he could have cut himself or maybe he feels more comfortable with it. i used to expo at restaurants and i used one glove because i would need different grips to grab things with my left and right hand. it helps
that’s for flavor
He probably has a cut on the hand with the glove and doesn't want to spread his blood around lol
When I was around 8 or 9, I started cooking and grilling. We didn't have access to the world of food that we have now. We still had people who were born in the 1890s (my grandparents included) that were eating things you wont see often on a restaurant menu today, i.e. swiss steak and liver and onions. I loved making hamburgers over the fire and would use a sharp cheddar cheese spread and bacon. I always ate them like that with grilled onions on buttered, grilled bread. I am going to make a tutorial on those burgers and some of my grandma's cooking from the early 1900s. Food is who I am! My grandma cooked for multitudes and so have I. Proudly!
I drove to New Haven from Hartford one night to try the burgers at Louis Lunch and it was worth the trip. The burgers really are that good.
Can I have mine cooked?
No.
(business savvy)
Have your ground leather if you like.
Places with strict ordering policies only have novelty value.
I always thought no condiments is just a joke you'd find at cartoons, these guys are actually serious thinking condiments are ruining the burger while they're out there using processed cheese spread, sandwich bread, 100+ years old ovens and cook the burger with the onions on it.
Sounds like a pretty bad burger
Sound like they are too cheap to even give condiments with the burger. But what can you expect from a place that uses cheese wiz and sandwich bread and a raw ass beef patty and calls it a burger.
They're too cheap to even make a pattie big enough to cover the area of the wonder bread they put it on. Place seems like the pits.
I was willing to accept the sandwich bread,
It can be good if you heat the bread on a frying pan with some spices,
But the rest of the deal is a no go,
What kind of moron doesn't use actual cheese?
There is a reason they don't use "actual cheese". It was tried and discovered the cheese never stood up to the heat generated by the oven.
The Cheese-Wiz is used because it doesn't get destroyed during the preparation.
If Cheese-Wiz doesn't appeal to you, fine. I'm the same way. I just had the conventional burger. And it was the first time I really enjoyed a burger, instead of a pile of condiments with a burger thrown in.
Born n raised in new haven CT. It’s legendary
I like Louis' - always have- it's not an everyday place but a once in a while treat.
This look like something a kid would make, when their home alone, cooking for the first time 🤣🤣🤣🤣

That's not raw you 12 year old
@@confusedcat-sm9cy its not tasty either
@@jacobcardinal8041 you must be asian
The "no condiment" thing is an outdated gimmick. That sandwich has no acid to balance the hunk of meat with fatty processed cheese, save for the brief minute each year fresh tomatoes are in season and don't taste like cardboard. We know how food science works these days, that's why everyone makes a special sauce or relish. It reminds me of when my grandfather insisted he hated garlic, yet when my mom spiked his meal with it one time he said "that was the best pasta I've ever had" hahaha
Exactly, I need something sour to balance all that fatty richness. Especially with the patty being so thick
I love the arrogance to believe that they were the first ones in the history of the world to place a piece of meat between 2 pieces of bread.

Just beef chuck...and then they will go on about the ratio of fat to meat...total bull as no burger hascthe exact same ratios unless each patty is weighed and minced one by one...and they don't do that.
Yeah but this is 'special' because it's the first burger joint. 'Special.' 🐂
As someone who has been there a couple times...it's pretty over rated but has a good story behind it.

To make it even funnier. Nobody knows the real story. The common story is that a german salesman from Hamburg immigrated to the US and sold a bun packed with meat. The hamburger as you now know it (lettuce,cheese, tomato etc) is pure american. So yeah, the inspiration comes from Hamburg, but the hamburger isn't from Hamburg. Some claim the story like this diner and use it as a sellingpoint. But nobody knows for certain. Same thing goes for the hotdog which is also from Germany / Austria, but americanized to the final product we all know.

@@BigBoiBestBananaBedBeniBrother u seem real salty about this, were u kicked out of this place !?
@@BigBoiBestBananaBedBeniBrother How is it terrible?!!? this burger is historic lmao they prolly have better food then that. they deserve it.
@@BigBoiBestBananaBedBeniBrother You've never been there but you said it's terrible twice in the same sentence? So who are you to judge and how would you know what they deserve and explain the people still lining up after 120 years?
@@BigBoiBestBananaBedBeniBrother Good quality meat doesn't need to be well done and can me eaten that way. Don't you think people eating tartare would all be dead? Why would people eat "bad food" there because it's an historical site? That is the most ridiculous thing i've ever heard and makes zero sense. You cannot say "it's terrible" when you never even walked in the place, that also makes no sense. He must be doing something right. Plus the google reviews are pretty damn good if you ask me. I only agree with you about the cheese but then again it could also be good quality. Peace.
That's it. I'm making all my burgers on regular bread from now on.
Don’t do it. It’s ghetto and the worst way to do it. Also. If someone wants a condiment, let them have it
The first burger was made in Germany ,? That’s why they got whole place called Hamburg
Where the damn did you take history lessons
no the first burger pattie was made in hamburg, hence why its called a hamburger
@@oscy1547 thats also a myth
In Deutsch class, before there was hamburgers there wwas meat balls on a stick then a man was like what if I could just put this meat in bread .
Then boom the first hamburger invented in Germany
@@al-yi2xk bruh what ghetto school did you go to
They use the bread not because to highlight the burger, it's because it predates the invention of the hamburger bun, and they just stuck with that tradition.
So, shitty, processed white bread instead of actual bread loaves or rolls? Which predate mass production of generic white bread? Ok...
I went to Louis once, it was one of the worst burgers i've had.
yeah but did you know it was "the original" ?
@@sarge727 authenticity is often overrated
You're only saying that because you hate me Fool
It was the best Burger you tried , I can guarantee you
😂
born and raised in ct, 40 yrs. never went there but I know how to make that at home.
I went recently, I just packed my own burger bun, sauce and sliced cheese and it made it so good.
Asbestos lined stoves. Nothing adds flavor like asbestos!
i thought anything to do with asbestos is bad of health!!!
@@shylaa1124 😂 someone doesn't understand a joke.
@@Matt19matt19 oh...hahahaa , no smileys.. so assumed this dude is for real..lol
You can eat asbestos and you'll be fine, unless you make an asbestos sandwich. It is breathing the teeny, tiny fibers that kill your lungs.
Cancer burgers, hold the ketchup.
Arthur Morgan could never taste a hamburger :(
Yeehaw :(
Nothing beats the original!
I had this burger and was skeptical but it was actually amazing.
3:27 was that disgust!?
fat.asian nah. That’s just her permanent foochie face. Lol
@@nighttrain7404 fatty
fat.asian I am sorry I can make that same burger at home probably better
Meh
It's not a very impressive burger
That burger looks like something a college student would make
Lol🤣!
While they were high
I definitely made something similar to this once or twice while I was in college
Damn didn't know that many college students were going out of their way to made dijon cheese spread from scratch 🤡
@@waxblast7528 bro are you trolling?
This looks like the burger your parents made in the 90s ( no bun , bad condiments) and they expect endless praise
Bad condiments = dijon cheese spread 🤡
Also this burger was made before the hamburger bun was invented but just go ahead and keep showing your ignorance
I like the burgers in the toaster sliced breads more than in the buns. With sauted onion, mashroom & white melted cheese on the top. Hold the pickles, lettuce, onion & tomato slices in the plate. While I'm eating my burger in a toasted bread slices, I munch on the the stuff in the plate.
And for the sauce, I only prefer A-1 steak sauce.
