DENVER — This article was first published by MileHighontheCheap.com.
National Cheeseburger Day arrives Monday, Sept. 18.
While there are many stories regarding the birth of the cheeseburger, many believe it all started right here in Denver. Back in 1935, a trademark for the name “cheeseburger” was awarded to Louis Ballast of the Humpty Dumpty Drive-In in Denver. Who knows the truth? All we know is that everyone loves a juicy cheeseburger!
Biting into the combo of a good bun, lettuce, tomato, pickle, cheese and juicy burger is so satisfying. Then, there are an endless number of condiments and kinds of cheeses to make it your very own, one-of-a-kind cheeseburger.
The following deals are only valid at participating locations and cannot be combined with any other discount or promotion. There is a limit of one offer per person, while supplies last.
