Hamburger: A Global History by Andy Smith
Culinary historian Andy Smith is a thorough researcher. I once attended a seminar he did on researching cultural history through food and was blown away by his thoroughness and the tricks of his trade.
This definitive little book unwraps the mystery of the origin of the hamburger and its name, and traces its spread across the globe. The stories of White Castle, McDonald’s, and other chains and Mom & Pop burger stands is worth the modest price of admission. He debunks the myths that the Tartars invented hamburgers, that they first appeared on a menu at Delmonico’s in NYC in 1834, that Ray Kroc founded McDonald’s, and that the first Mickey D’s is in Desplaines, IL. All untrue.
