It was original back in 1895 where the first burger was made. The story goes back when a customer came into Louis' Lunch asking for a very quick meal. Louis took some beef scrap and toast and BOOM...the first hamburger. And finally, we went to Louis' Lunch in New Haven today. It's a very small joint. The place kept their original setting and the burger grill is still used back in the early 1900's. Must be accurate with your order such as if you want a burger with cheese, tomatoes and onion then it's called "cheeseworks". The beef is fresh and never frozen. And PLEASE do not ask for ketchup and don't think about bringing your ketchup into the place or you will be yelled at. They want you to savor the flavor of the beef. Waiting is essential. We waited for almost 30 minutes for our burgers and it was worth the wait.
