    Double Cheeseburger Day was made to celebrate the birth of the double cheeseburger, and by extension the cheeseburger itself. While it may seem the most natural thing in the world to add cheese to a hamburger these days, originally a hamburger was a very simple affair. Hamburger, bread, and condiments were pretty much all that a hamburger had going for it. The first person said to have created the cheeseburger was Lionel Sternberger while working at his fathers sandwich shop. A sizzling piece of hamburger seemed to be just begging for something a little extra, and so a piece of cheese was added to see what came out.

    What came out, obviously, was magic. It wasn’t long before someone realised that a single sizzling patty of hamburger topped with melting cheese wasn’t the best thing in life, not when you could have two sizzling patties of hamburger topped with melting cheese. The birth of the double cheeseburger was as inevitable as the cheeseburger itself, and Double Cheeseburger Day celebrates it all :food:

    Cheese is about all I'd add to a hamburger - I find some of the offerings these days a tad overwhelming.

  5. I can't see the point of a double cheeseburger.
    The burgers slither against each other until they slip out of the back of the bun. They even do this when you follow Carrie's advice - the one thing that blokes worldwide learned from watching Sex in the City - to cut the burger in half before trying to eat it.
    Why not simply make a bigger, double size burger & put twice as much cheese on it?

    Unless, of course, it’s a Swartz Bros. burger, with blue cheese...
