Pepperfreak said:New Haven, Connecticut's Louis' Lunch (a restaurant dating back to 1895) claims that Louis Lassen served up the first hamburger in response to an impatient customer's hurried lunch order. The Library of Congress supposedly verifies this, giving credence to this claim.
...the Library of Congress agrees it was Louis Lassen who invented the burger when he put scraps of ground between slices of bread for fast, easy eating. And second, Lassen's burgers are still served at Louis Lunch, a small hamburger shack in New Haven where Jeff Lassen is the fourth generation proprietor...
Pepperfreak said:OK folks, here is my TEASER BTW, the Sauerkraut is imported from Germany and I'm going to have to pick the best of the three to actually use in my entry. I will post the jar that I pick along with my entry.

AlabamaJack said:thaks for the kudos on the burger...it definitely got me where I wanted to be...
Even yankee Louis Lassen says an unknown vendor at the worlds fair in 1904 made it....and that person ws Fletcher Davis from Athens, Texas...
"An article about Louis' Lunch in The New York Times on January 12, 1974, stated that the McDonald's hamburger chain claims the inventor was an unknown food vendor at the 1904 St. Louis World's Fair...research documented that this vendor was in fact Fletcher Davis..."

I love reubens!! Now originally the reuben was made open faced with russian dressing and on rye bread. Most joints these days make it with 2 slices of bread and w/ 1000 island. I prefer the open faced version on sourdough w/1000 island, just like I had it way back in the caveman days at a joint down in Austin, TX.
The meat: 1 pound of corned beef.
The cheese: about 1/3 pound sliced baby swiss.
The kraut: about 1/2 pound, drained.
The bread: toasted and buttered bottom of a sourdough boulle.
The dressing: sweet pickle relish, mayo, ketchup, horseradish, my own habanero hot sauce.
Here's the beginning of teh chaos...
Not done yet but....behold it's awesome powah'!!!
To be continued........
