A
cheeseburger is a
hamburger with
cheese on top (or below) of the meat. The cheeseburger was first made in
1934 at Kaelin's Restaurant in
Louisville, Kentucky, but the
trademark for the name "cheeseburger" was awarded in
1935 to Louis Ballast of the Humpty Dumpty Drive-In in
Denver, Colorado.
A cheeseburger served with two patties is known as a "double cheeseburger." This is often served with bacon, making it a "bacon double cheeseburger" or a "double bacon cheeseburger." The term "bacon double cheeseburger" is technically more accurate, as the term "double" more clearly refers to the cheeseburger and not the bacon.
It is also possible to order a "triple cheeseburger" or a "bacon triple cheeseburger."
A juicy lucy is a cheeseburger where the cheese is cooked inside the raw meat.
