"Americans' love affair with burgers continues, as they say they're twice as likely to visit a grocery store that's promoting beef for grilling, over a store that promotes any other protein," said Dave Zino, Executive Chef at the National Cattlemen's Beef Association, a contractor to the Beef Checkoff. "As a high-quality protein packed with 10 essential nutrients, a sizzling, juicy burger is a satisfying meal like no other – perfect for Memorial Day entertaining and experimenting with new flavors." The Beef Checkoff is also rolling out its new Beef 101: Burger Bar video. Perfect for those hosting at home but craving global flavors, the video takes viewers on a "Tour de Burger," curing foodie wanderlust one bite at a time. The video features burger recipes from around the world – from a burger inspired by southern barbeques to a burger fit for the Greek islands to one that borrows flavors from an Italian summer staple, the Caprese salad. With so many culinary twists on the classic, burgers have taken on countless shapes, sizes and toppings over the years since the original burger began its rise to stardom. The origin of the term 'burger' dates back to the 1880s in Hamburg, Germany, where locals ground up beef steak and formed it into patties they called a "Hamburg Steak." German immigrants then brought Hamburg Steak to the United States where Americans placed it between two pieces of bread to form the first hamburger. Though the exact origin of the hamburger continues to be debated, one thing is certain: the first burger was indeed beef – and the hamburger continues to be an American all-time favorite.
