There are a lot of American classics when it comes to food, but none hit quite like a mouthwatering cheeseburger. It should come as no surprise that this delicious “sandwich” has its own day — Wednesday, Sept. 18, is National Cheeseburger Day.
What started simply as a burger patty with cheese topped with a few salad fixings on a toasty bun, the cheeseburger has been taken to new culinary heights over the years. With gourmet offerings and cultural influences, you can now find them dressed with unique toppings, sauces, and seasonings.
