Even though people tend to refer to hot dogs as the one purely American food, it's actually the classic burger. Why? Because it was invented in America and it has since taken the world by storm.

You'd be hard-pressed to find a country without its own spin on an American burger--granted, some countries replace the beef with other proteins, but it's still a burger.

The burger's origins are also filled with mystery, but it's attributed to being a fair food in the late 1800s when a vendor ran out of sausage and opted instead to use ground beef in his popular sausage sandwiches. At that moment, the burger was born.

Shockingly, the cheeseburger didn't come along until the 1920s when a kid working in a California sandwich shop tossed a slice on a burger... the rest is history.
