Menches

Did you know that the original hamburger was created by Frank and Charles Menches? Frank and Charles Menches ran out of pork for their sausage patty sandwiches at the 1885 Erie County Fair.  Their supplier, reluctant to butcher more hogs in the summer heat, suggested they use beef instead.  The brothers fried some up, but found it bland.  They added coffee, brown sugar, and other ingredients to create a taste that stands distinct without condiments.  They christened this sandwich the "hamburger" after Hamburg, New York, where the fair was being held.

 

Today, the Menches family has carried on the tradition of making hamburgers, waffle cones and other favorites.  You can visit Menches Brothers Restaurant and taste a bit of history.  Visit their website for more information.
