Louis' Lunch

Louis' Lunch in New Haven, Connecticut, United States, advertises itself as the first restaurant to serve hamburgers and as being the oldest hamburger restaurant still operating in the U.S. Opened as a small lunch wagon in 1895, Louis' Lunch was also one of the first places in the U.S. to serve steak sandwiches. According to Louis' Lunch, the hamburger was created in 1900 in response to a customer's hurried request for a lunch to go. In 1917, Louis moved the business into a square-shaped little brick building that had once been a tannery. In 1975, the restaurant was moved four blocks down to 263 Crown Street. Hamburgers cooked in the restaurant are made on antique vertical cast iron gas stoves from 1898 and the toast made in an antique toaster from 1928. The hamburgers are a broiled blend of five cuts of steak. Toppings include cheese, tomato or onion, but the restaurant does not offer other condiments. Louis Lassen's restaurant is recognized in the Library of Congress as the origin of the hamburger, but other claimants and detractors exist. The restaurant has been highly rated by Travel Channel's ''Chowdown Countdown'' and others, but has been the subject of criticism over condiments.
==History==

Louis Lassen was a "blacksmith by trade and preacher by vocation" and immigrated to New Haven from Denmark in 1886.〔 He became a food peddler, selling butter and eggs from a wooden cart. Lassen purchased a home at 45 Elliot Street and stored his cart in a shed in the backyard. In 1895, Lassen began adding lunch items to his cart.〔 According to the 1899 New Haven directory, Lassen was a butter dealer and included his home address.
According to family legend, one day in 1900 a local businessman dashed into the small New Haven lunch wagon and pleaded for a lunch to go. According to the Lassen family, the customer, Gary Widmore, exclaimed "Louie! I'm in a rush, slap a meatpuck between two planks and step on it!".〔 Louis Lassen, the establishment's owner, placed his own blend of ground steak trimmings between two slices of toast and sent the gentleman on his way, so the story goes, with America's alleged first hamburger being served.〔 In 1917, Lassen moved into a square-shaped little brick building that had once been a tannery. Forced to move to make way for development in 1975, Louis' Lunch moved four blocks down, to its present location, 263 Crown Street in New Haven, CT.〔(New York Magazine May 16, 1977 )〕〔 In the 1970s, Ken Lassen added cheese spread to the hamburger.〔 The fifth generation of Lassens' owns and operates Louis' Lunch today.〔
