Hamburgers are said to have originated in Hamburg, where Germans created what was known as the “Hamburg steak,” a patty of seasoned ground beef. It wasn’t until the 1904 World’s Fair in St. Louis when the hamburger started to take off. The story is that so many people loved the Hamburg steaks that the vendors ran out of plates, only to sell the patties between two buns.
What if we told you there was a unique variant of the hamburger to enjoy right here in St. Joseph, Missouri. That’s right, Crumbly Burger, established in 2008, is a family-owned business famous for selling the loose meat sandwich.
