There are several versions that explain the origins of the hamburger. According to some, it descends from the Hamburg minced meatball of the same name, which was enclosed between two slices of brioche bread and eaten by workers in Germany who needed a rich and nutritious meal. The beef sandwich was also served on board the ships of the German HAPAG, which connected the ports of Hamburg with those of New York. The continuous landings of the Germans on American soil during the nineteenth century made the dish a famous food in New York, where it was prepared by street vendors.

The Hamburg rundstück warm is a sandwich with roast beef or pork that seems to date back to at least the nineteenth century and, according to some, has some correlations with the hamburger.

According to other sources, it was Frank and Charles Menches who introduced the hamburger sandwich to the USA. The two claimed to have sold ground beef sandwiches at the Erie County Fair, held in 1885 in Hamburg, New York. According to this theory, the sandwich was named after the place where it was invented, Hamburg, and not the city of Hamburg. With the advent of the consumer society, the sandwich began to be served in restaurant chains. The first to sell hamburgers for large-scale distribution was White Castle in 1921. McDonald's and Burger King began producing them in 1952 and 1954, respectively.
