A History of Hamburgers  
Aired: Thursday, March 27, 2008 11-12PM ET


A burger designed by chef Michael Schlow.
By guest host Jane Clayson

America has a love affair with hamburgers. From the first ones served up at White Castle in Kansas to those Golden Arches and your backyard grill, the burger has worked its way into America's stomachs and hearts.

Its transformation from German hamburger steak to an American icon is a delicious story, and has more twists and turns than you could ever pile onto a bun. Get your napkin ready because we're going to take a big bite.

This hour, On Point: the history of the hamburger.
