While you're frying up some eggs and bacon, we're cooking up something else: a way to celebrate today's food holiday. September 18 is National Cheeseburger Day. Ah the cheeseburger. It's as American as, well, American cheese. But that’s as far as the patty’s origin gets narrowed down. Various eating establishments (mostly in California) claim to have invented the cheeseburger. The Pasadena Sun did due diligence in investigating the burger’s background and while it heavily leans toward one over the other, it’s left undecided. Top 10 cheeseburgers around the country (Above, see some of the best burgers in Pasadena) More on the great cheeseburger controversy and a bit of hamburger history Whatever the history, the cheeseburger has cemented its place at the American table. Chefs across the country have jumped on the meat wagon, coming up with ideas like Kobe, lobster and brie burgers, or burgers laden with Swiss cheese foam, seared foie gras and Coca-Cola ketchup. More outrageous burgers from around the country, plus our readers' favorite burgers Sound a tad fancy?

Food and consumer groups say the practice increases the risk of cattle becoming infected with mad cow disease. A beef industry trade group say a ban isn't needed.

A fight is brewing over the practice of feeding chicken feces and other poultry farm waste to cattle.
A coalition of food and consumer groups that includes Consumers Union and the Center for Science in the Public Interest has asked the Food and Drug Administration to ban the practice. McDonald's Corp., the nation's largest restaurant user of beef, also wants the FDA to prohibit the feeding of so-called poultry litter to cattle.
Members of the coalition are threatening to file a lawsuit or to push for federal legislation establishing such a ban if the FDA doesn't act to do so in the coming months.
Farmers feed 1 million to 2 million tons of poultry litter to their cattle annually, according to FDA estimates.
You are such a Buzz-Kill

Just in time for homegrown tomatoes!
Homegrown is always best
If we, the American people can celebrate National Cheeseburger Day, lettuce not concern ourselves with the national obesity rate!
Oh yeah...hitting up some In-n-Out for lunch near LAX and then a Simzy's Burger for dinner at Simzy's in Manhattan Beach!!!

National Cheeseburger Day?
Please!
American tastes are so undeveloped.
Uhhhh...oh ok...you know this is for fun right? It's o.k. to enjoy a burger you know. Do you tell an Irish man that he has no taste cuz he likes a Reuben sandwhich?? Of an Italian cuz he wants a meatball sub?? Or a Frenchman that he has no class because of his French Dip Sandwich?? Geez!!!
Cheesburger topped with lettuce, tomato, onion, pickle, bacon, avocado, pineapple... served with a Mai Tai at Cheesbrugers' in Paradise in Key West is the way to go. Dag! Those prices at Louis'lunch are outrageously high! Two freaking dollars for a bag of potato chips? Are you kidding?
Used to love hamburger henrys in long beach.
Here is the undisputed truth about the history of the burger! Eat and enjoy!

How many times do we have to say.........oh, never mind.
I think today is also national obesity day... oh wait, that's every day.
I find it ironic that the link for this article is right next to the link for obesity related health problems. On that note – gimme a Double-Double, and a chocolate shake, please.
Would you like Animal Fries with that?
