putting ground meat between bread is pretty intuitive. not crazy that multiple people came up with it around the same time.
I invented this. the rest are bastard liar.
Holy shit were the same person
NO!!! only they DID!!! dont try and streal there idea N WORED
Aww, mad u hatee
Still moving, put it back on the 🔥
Love my city
The fact those broilers are 118 years old and still working just goes to how how scumbag the industry has gone from best tough made to last to last two years and buy another, washing machines, phones, pcs, etc
my washing machine is at least 17 years old,my phone is about 7 years old and my laptop's about 9 years old.If your things only last for about 2 years,its either the product is cheap or you need to learn how to take better care of your stuff
ITS YOUR FAULT!!!!!!!!
YOPU KEPT CRYING AND WANTED CRACKERS TO EAT WHAT A BABY!!!!!!!!!
@@croverns164 HE WOULD RUB HIS BUTT ON STUFF!!!!!! HIS BUTT IS DIRTY!!!!!
My grandparents have stuff from the 50s that still works like brand-new
The modern American hamburger was possibly invented by Charles Nagreen (Hamburger Charlie) in 1885 at a Outagamie County Fair. Prior to this, Hamburg Steaks were eaten either on their own or as an open-faced sandwich (Smorrebrod).
NO!!!!! you are wrong n word!!!
How would u like your burger sir?
Still alive
Thanx for keeping Americana alive.
I invented the boiled egg.
+Russ Fleming
Thanks to my invention of water.
tɦɛ ʀiɳg ѳԲ ɗɛɱoɳร lol
spider man i invented water so he could boil the egg
.... Did you forget that I invented the pot?
Well I invented ice water.
I'd love to try it
Someone needs to tell Jeff Lassen that mustard is a condiment.
+Mdriver1981 Where did he use mustard?...
oh cool, just like they used on burgers in 1902 oe 1895 or whatever year that douchebag claims his great great grandfather invented it.
@broomsterm really? The cheeseburgers don't use cheese slices? That looks like mustard to me. Which is fine cuz I'm sure a little mustard would enhance the taste of the meat. I agree that ketchup someowat covers it up.
@@Mdriver1981 well they only started doing cheeseburgers in the 1950s, they never said it was on the original menu
Actually, I was wrong. I mistook cheese wiz for mustard.
It’s putting beef between 2 slices of bread, I’m sure he wasn’t the first one to make it
someone had to be
chad..i invent this before you bastard fuck.
Louis’s lunch was the first one to SELL it. If they’re in the library of congress as the first to do it, then you have to give credit where credit is due.
@@jlim9411 because what happened in europe thousands of years before is not relevant because its not american right jlim? because the word hamburger is not derived from hamburg germany? you deliriously simple minded twat.
Russ Fleming last time I checked, they’re on record in the library of the US CONGRESS. Correct me if I’m wrong, but last I checked, the US Congress is in charge of what goes on in the US. Not the rest of the world. They keep records of what goes on in our country. Which is why we should be giving them credit for being the first to do it IN OUR COUNTRY. If the Germans were doing way before them, great! Have a medal! As a culinarian, I’m well aware of where hamburger originated. This video isn’t focusing on that. It’s focusing the AMERICAN HAMBURGER. Not the German one. At what point did me or anyone else say that anything that happened outside the US was irrelevant. How about you take a look in the mirror before calling someone a deliriously simple-minded twat. The only one making an ass of themselves in this conversation is you with you’re acting.
Glad to hear it from the owner. That's great, just like the burgers.
That meat looks in uncooked
It’s medium rare
It’s cooked medium rare. You’re allowed to do that with beef.
You probably order steak well done
loki110872 yes when I posted this comment I did. And I hate myself for that because now I can only eat beef medium rare 😂
@@99joserivera lol that was 7 years ago
Sorry pal! But the reason it’s called a Hamburger is that sailors in the port of Hamburg used to eat beef patties between 2 slices of bread!
German immigrants in America adopted this and called them Hamburgers!
That’s also why Hot Dogs are originally called Frankfurters. As they originate from the German city of Frankfurt!
FFS
take it with congress then lol
No Hamburg style steak was not served on bread as for hot dogs bun was American invention.
It goes even more Farther back,to the Russians and Tartar Steak,made by putting the meat under a Horse's Saddle and riding tenderizing the meat as they bounced up & down,eating it Raw!
@@funyunmaker3182 so the original breadless hamburgers were basically just Salisbury steaks?
The Germans ate the patties like steak. The American immigrants put it between bread and added condiments. This is the reason hamburgers that we know are a staple food in America and not in germany.
Was gonna complain about how harsh the comments are.... but then I remembered this is the internet.
where to buy the vertical broilers on amazon?
You can't they are the only ones ever made.
your momma bitch.
You’re joking, right?
I don't like raw burgers
then dont eat a raw burger....
Then may I suggest you don't visit the place and go to a Burger King or Wendy's.
Fuck off
@@goodputin4324 butt hurt?
@@JonJon-wi2dh your mom
Rare burgers!
Not even rare
That's the only way the 5th generation of Lassens make it.
This video needs updating.
They look raw,i was going to go there from Pennsylvania but not for something i have to eat with blood coming out of it.
it's amazing those broilers haven't collapsed...metal fatigue
5th in the works? what if they don't want to
Sorry pal, they were making hamburgers in Seymour, Wisconsin 13 years before your great grandpa's toaster ovens were manufactured. You may try to claim he made the first burgers, but he probably got the idea while he was passing through Wisconsin.
Hamburg Germany, ‘steak-hamburg’.
@@roymarius1634 ... with no top bun ...the so called German "hamburger" ... or should I say a pork pizza ? , because originally it was made of leftovers of mainly pork meat... in a modern version I suppose you could call it pulled pork on a bun, which also has nothing to do with an original American burger ... German immigrants seemed to have made some sort of steak on a bun, but never a ground beef sandwich ... so no, I'm sorry ... an American burger has nothing to do with Hamburg or German immigrants ...
AGF fans you’re wrong-o: Where do you think the word “hamburger” came from? SMH you should do some research before you make an ASS out of yourself on the world wide inter-webs.
en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hamburg_steak
@@roymarius1634 the food still sucks it have the worst. burgers ever no flavor at all
@@roymarius1634 .. Read my post again, What part of 'no top bun' did you not understand ? I'm not talking about a meaningless word, but about the origin of the burger as we know it, which is a ground beef sandwich which the German Hamburger never was.
this is highly debatable. BUT considering how old this establishment is, i have little doubt that Louis Lunch was maybe the first restaurant to sell that polupar sandwich.
Louis Lassen and Charlie Briggs both claimed to have invented it.
you be a real bitch ass white boi
GO DEBATE YO AZZZZZ
I would love to eat a hamburger in that place!
You must be on crack.....
Russ Fleming, i started it all, i layed an egg
that you did,in more ways than you think.
Hate how they use cheap Wonder bread and act like that's how it was originally . The bread back in the day was a lot better the cheap air filled junk they use today .
How the fuck would you know? Are you still 100 years old?
to shut your mouth is good bastard fuck..i invent this burger thing..
Great burgers, go medium rare, fresh & never frozen which makes a huge difference in the texture of the burger
I bet thousands of grandmothers and mothers were making burgers on bread in that era since there weren't any hamburger buns but now that we have buns put that sumbitch on a bun and put some damn mustard on it
I'm trying it Without the Toast-it still tastes Delicious!
Russ Fleming why do homie like that
The people in this comment section are tripping balls I'm laughing my ass off
i garuntee they didn't use those modern type of slices of bread.
Eman Resu please, go back to school.
Why cover it with cheese whiz
It’s raw
They literally shook Thomas Jefferson’s hee haw
Man those things look tasty
I farted raunchily in there once
The Hamburger came from Germany but the Americans developed it further !
A life sentence from birth
shut up bitch boi
No condiments? But I definitely see mustard on there 🤔
Never mind, just heard on the America's Test Kitchen podcast, "Proof": it's Cheez Whiz.... which contains mustard flour and worcestershire sauce in addition to a bunch of other junk 🤦🏾♂️
lol they never have the 3rd grill in working order, it always has that butter knife on it and kept closed in every single video
Man, kudos to the people who installed those gas lines that held up for 115 years.
Cheese is a condiment. 🤨
"if you have a very good tasting product you shouldnt rely on anything else"
adds cheap spreadcheese
I think that was mustard?
YOU ARE JELLUS
@@RyanCoomer ok
Not cheap spread cheese. It’s house made wiz.
Hmmmm the reviews all say its shit hmmmmm
I hate any place that would refuse to let you use condiments. Let people eat how they wanna eat, it's not up to you to make that choice. Just fucking snotty.
No ketchup allowed, but it's okay to serve raw meat!
If it’s good quality beef, it’s not necessarily gonna hurt you to eat it a little on the rare side. But I can guarantee you that Jeff Lassen doesn’t get good quality beef, that asshole goes to Walmart and buys the cheapest shit possible. Stay away from that place, it’s a well known fact around New Haven that Lassen is a sketchy dirtbag
If you like raw meat...this is your place...
It’s just rare is all.
raw meat is fine (beef tartar), but half-cooked is fucking disgusting
no ketchup, pink meat -> wouldn't eat there for free
Ketchup on a burger is for small children
yeah , okay
the burgers look barbaric
Well, it's a fucking burger. It's SUPPOSED to be barbaric. What are you, French or something?
It may be a proprietary sandwich but anyone could EASILY recreate this exact same burger at home and probably for much cheaper
I would never ever eat that piece of slop
Nice try
My girl's fur burger is more appealing, truth be told ......
I agree
This is what McDonalds would look like If the Brothers had never made a deal with Ray Kroc.
Cheez Whiz? That’s trashy. This guy seems pretty arrogant. Thinks he’s awesome for putting some meat in between some garbage white bread slice.
Dont knock till you try it
Cheez Whiz is used for Philly Cheese steak sandwiches in Philadelphia.
If it ain't broke, if it works, do not fix it
Haha Americans think they invented hamburger
you invent bang bang ass love?
Hamburg Germany gets the credit for minced beef steak. America takes the credit for putting it between bread. Food history can be argued until the cows come home. Who actually invented pizza? Italy or the Turks? Al Pastor... Mexico or the Lebanese? I could go on forever and there are valid data-points that support each argument.
Americans invented the Hamburger sandwich; not the Hamburgh steak...and then the US just called them Hamburgers.
czcams.com/video/l5JATjl70dI/video.html look how disgraceful they are with there materials... that says enough... there mother should be ashamed for them
Unpopular opinion. I feel like this place is just a fake ass hipster joint, staking its claim as being the "first". i don't recall Wonder Bread and especially nasty ass Cheez Whiz in the 1890's.
Those "hamburgers" aren't cook
It looks like an idiotic upside down gas grill
This looks like the most disgusting burger ive ever seen
Bullshit hamburgers originated from germany. From Hamburger Rundstück or Rundstück Warm. german immigrants bring it to the USA
I like condiments more than the food. Like when I eat steak I’m more excited about a1 sauce than the actual steak. Pizza im more excited about the bleu cheese. I definitely can’t eat a burger without catsup and mustard definitely can’t eat here
this dude burger might be the first burger but its also the first nasty burgers too. lol
how about cooking that thing first...geeze.
It is cooked,you can eat beef medium rare you know.
only if you a sub-human animal at the zoo...flesh eating zombie.
Lol never knew people were this sensitive about medium rare meat
keep your meat preference to yourself freak.
not a freak,you're just to much of a normie.
im from germany and jeff have the typical german face 😂
piss on yo face bitch
Louis Lassen was an immigrant from Denmark, this is his grandson Jeff Lassen
Undercooked, no fries, no condiments, no thank you!
they sell fries
@@Tommyblueeyes no they dont
First, they're not undercooked. The Lassens cook the meat only two ways: rare and medium rare. It ain't Burger King, pal. Second, the only potatoes sides they got are potato salad and potato chips. You get either one or both. And third and lastly, condiments ruins the quality of their burgers, let alone upstages it. If you don't like their way, then don't go there and embarrass yourself. It's THEIR way or the highway. Got it?
@@Tommyblueeyes The only potatoes sides they got are potato salad and potato chips.
Christopher Howell you gotta be an employee or something, because you’re defending the restaurant to your last breath throughout this comment section
Looks nasty they'll eat anything on the East coast! 🤮🤮
It’s not good, and they’re not will ing to change… use regular American and not spread cheese no good….
