Although I'm a student of history, I haven't yet had the opportunity to visit the birthplace of fast food, Louis' Lunch in New Haven, CT. where they served up the first hamburger in 1895. These tasty burgers are prepared as they've been since the beginning, sans catchup or mustard and served on toast, which sounds strangely appealing to me. It could just be a case of me wanting what I can't have, but maybe I can work this into the itinerary of our tentatively planned trip to New England in the spring.
