🍔 Louis’ Lunch (https://g.page/LouisLunchCT?share)
NEW HAVEN, CONNECTICUT – Welcome to New Haven, one of the pizza capitals of the United States, Yale University, and there happens to be an original restaurant called Louis’ Lunch where the modern hamburger was invented. The restaurant is still family run since 1895!
First of all you have to appreciate the amazing original building of Louis’ Lunch, it’s totally frozen in time, literally unchanged, just aged to perfection. It’s like a cottage from the outside, and when you step inside you can feel the original charm – there are wooden pulpit like booths, personal seating with burger tables, and then you see the original vertical burger chargrills at the front of the restaurant, and you know you’re about to eat the original hamburger!
For a little of the history, in Germany they had been eating a Hamburg steak, served like a hamburger steak, yet it hadn’t been put into bread to make it a handheld sandwich. As the story goes, the ground beef was brought to New Haven by sailors from Hamburg, Germany. Louis Lassen started serving hamburger steak, and one day when some customers were in a rush, he stuck the hamburger steak between two slices of bread and gave it to them. The sailors loved it, and they actually named it the hamburger.
Now, the complete history of the hamburger is not fully known and some argue that it was consecutively invented at the same time across a number of places, but the hamburger story of Louis’ Lunch is without a doubt real, and they are surely the ones who made the hamburger popular. If you think about it, this is ground zero – this is where all other burgers originate! Whether you’re eating at McDonald’s or a gourmet artisanal burger, they all have origins and have been influenced by the original hamburger right here in New Haven!
The hamburger by the way is amazing, nothing more and nothing less than you would want. And it’s an ultimate food history experience.

The Hamburger was invented i Hamburg, Germany in around 1847, hence the name Hamburger… Maybe Louis Lassen took that idea with him to the states, who knows, but I doubt that HE invented it.
barrrrf
Just wondering if you can add jalapeños there or anything that is spicy because that’s how I like my burger?
Mark thank you for your videos, I’m traveling to Bangkok and will be visiting your restaurant.
They used to never have cheeseburgers. Wonder why they changed
First hamburger in America maybe but in Hamburg, Germany was way before 1898!
Thank you captain obvious . Thank you for your visual description of a video that I am already seeing for my self .
Thank god other places have perfected the things, huh?
I’ve tasted that burger. Few people are like, what’s the big deal, it’s missing everything that’s on the burger. This burger on toast bread is probably in my top five. Sometimes simple done well is all you need. The way they grill is incredible.
Mark you are amazing and me and the fam love you . All the way from Oregon 〽️🇲🇽〽️
I always wondered why I got a burger that looked like this when I would ask my grandma for a hamburger at home.
Dude, this is clickbait.
No one knows the world's first hamburger, and even if they did, it would certainly be long before 1898, ok
This guy's enthusiasm is endearing and genuine. It's nice to see someone doing what they love.
Am I tripping or did this man just cross contaminate? He touched raw meat and then proceeded to make the burger, 🤮 gross!
it's funny how the older, wiser guy leaned over his plate to take a bite and the youngsters just accepted their fate
I live about an hour away from this place, but have never eaten there. Your video has convinced me that this is something I must do for the historic as well as the gastronomic experience. Thanks Mark.
Gotta visit this burger shack just for that ketchup prank
You need to stop aggravating your narrative. The way you eat is just too much sloppiness and like you poor and haven't had food forever!! Please keep it down with your big mouth!!
Louis was a danish guy. So a dane did invent the burger..
Try the potato salad, that's delicious too . Almost like mashed potatoes
This place is only 30 minutes from me. Might have to check it out.
I wish I was back home when you came to visit that’s awesome
The Chinese sign says "No Smoking"…. hahaaa
I am thinking about what else could be cooked in those cast iron grillers. Other meats or even seafood or veggies. I wish I had one of those. Over a hundred years old and working just fine. That is cool. Oh and the toasting machine is epic.
Mark looks like an aged 12 year old
does he handle the raw hamburger meat with the same glove and utensils as the cooked patties, bread and vegetables?
Yours didn't seem to be medium rare.. did you have a special request?
This guy looks like he walks everywhere.
I've also heard it was invented in denver
Not a real burger without the bun. This is a patty melt of sorts.
I like a burger without the blood dripping down
looks horrible to be honest
how come he looks like sheldon cooper in the thumbnail?
DUDE!! BEST PIZZA ON THE PLANET THERE!!!!!!
Why vintage food is more jussy and flavorfull
A 🍔 IS EITHER TWO ✌ BUNS WITH A PATTE BETWEEN/A SPLIT DINNER ROLL WITH A FRANKFURTER N LOTS OF MUSTARD. AS USUAL MARK FINDS THE ATYPICAL N ORIGINAL..??? 😇😇😇🙃🙃🙃🤪🤪🤪
Bullshits man, I told you to go try Bulgaria, where all the original food coming from❗ And is not a burger it is Kiufte❗
