There's nothing better than a nice cold milkshake on a hot summer day. Milkshakes use to be not as well known as they are now, they used to be known as frosted shakes, their catch phrase was “frosted shakes add a dash of your favorite ice cream”. The start of the milkshake became widespread in 1930 because a new milkshake maker could make 5 milkshakes at a time. They came up with several catchphrase like “twist it, chore it, make it cackle.” (“Highland Park Soda Foundation”). There were several inventions that helped make milkshakes a popular item to get, for instance the growth of fast food restaurants thrived on having milkshakes to get young customers. Milkshakes used to be an alcoholic beverage before the want of a new drink for young people, …show more content…
The start of the modernized hamburger is a cool one, the mongolians started the first idea of a hamburger as on the go meal. The mongolians would keep grounded up mutton between their horses saddle and their horse to tenderize the patties, if you think that is gross they ate it raw too because on their journeys to conquer countries they didn't have time to make a fire and they also didn't want their enemies see them coming. Although from that cool and slightly disgusting idea the mutton patties turned into a delicate dish in Russia. The Russian dish soon moved to Hamburg Germany which helped get its name. Many people migrated to America and brought their favorite foods one food being hamburg steak (“hamburgers”). Many people like hamburg steak but it wasn't a hamburger yet because it didn't have buns. People take claim to inventing the hamburger. One person was “grandpa oscar” who cooked ground up beef on a grill and also invented a bun for the hamburgers. Now hamburgers are a true American dish.

Steak ‘n shake started out as a chicken restaurant and a gas station that was merged together. The owner of steak and shake Gus Belt worked in the marine corp. for 4 years but then followed his dream of becoming a cook. Gus started out grinding steak out in the dining area to insure that people know that it is real steak, since the 1930s the grinding of meat is insured that they do it “at their own commissary” Although you can't be sure (“Steak ‘n Shake”.)1970-1984 steak ‘n shake was losing more than they were making so they turned the company over to the ceo of Circle K and he turned it around majorly. Although Cirkle K turned the business fate around Steak ‘n Shake bought out Circle K in 2004. The name Steak ‘n Shake is a little bit misleading being that there is no steak on the menu (“Steak ‘n Shake”.) Steak ‘n Shake is not only a great restaurant but it has good history. Steak ‘n Shake is most likely adam sandler's favorite
Chicken nuggets is a popular food to many people. Many may ask who makes the best fast- food chicken nuggets ? This question is probably the most opinionated question ever ? There are many fast foods restaurants that sell chicken nuggets such as: Wendy’s , Mcdonald’s ,Burger King and Chick- fil-a.These four different restaurants all have different tastes to their nuggets. Now in my opinion ,chicken nuggets from Chick-fil-a are the best . They have great chicken and that is more flavorful. One other difference from chick-fil -a and these other fast foods restaurants is there chicken isn’t processed. The chicken is seasoned and cooked to perfection in the restaurant. According to Johnson , Chick-fil-A takes the title. The classic McNuggets are second, followed by Burger King and Wendy's.
Madelyn McQueen - Twin Falls Idaho Have you ever wondered how the delicious, classic treat came to be? Well, any event you can think of after the date of 1938, the cookie was bound to be there. Several stories about how the country’s favorite baked good came to be, have been spread and believed by thousands. For example, Ruth Wakefield unexpectedly ran out of nuts for a regular ice-cream cookie recipe and, in desperation, replaced them with chunks chopped out of a bar of Nestle bittersweet chocolate. Another story is said that the vibrations from an industrial mixer caused chocolate stored on a shelf in the Toll House kitchen to fall into a bowl of cookie dough as it was being mixed. Sadly, all of these stories are false, says Carolyn Wyman in her recently published “Great American Chocolate Chip Cookie Book.” In her book, Wyman offers a more believable version of how the cookie came to be. Wyman argues, that Ruth Wakefield, who had a degree in household arts and a reputation for perfectionism, would not have allowed her restaurant, which was famed for its desserts, to run out of such
McDonald’s was created by the McDonald’s brothers(hint the name), Maurice and Richard, who wanted, from the beginning, to start their own business. After four years of trying to run a movie theater, the brothers decided to start a drive-in restaurant. By 1940’s the brothers started earning $50,000 a year. Instead of being happy, the brothers grew bored. Together they came up with a new idea and remodeled their whole place into a fast food place. No more serving people in their cars, time to serve people fast and cheap. Revolutionizing the food industry
In addition, German schnitzel became chicken-fried steak when they settled in America since beef was plentiful and more economical.

Many fast food chains have been around for a very long time. When I lived in Bay Ridge, Brooklyn, New York there was a White Castle that was open 24 hours. It was a great place to get food and to gather together no matter what the hour. It was also great to stop by and purchase sacks of their delicious burger to take along.
There is nothing better than an amazing homemade hamburger from In-n-Out. Opened in 1948 by Harry and Esther Snyder, In-n-Out is a hamburger restaurant that at was established in Baldwin Park, California. Harry and Esther opened the hamburger shop saying that they wanted to have: “the freshest, highest quality food you can buy...friendly service in sparking clean environment”(“The History of In-n-Out”). It is said that In-n-Out was the first drive-thru experience for customers to have. After two years of serving people in their opinion the freshest food people could get from fast food the opened the second restaurant(“The History of In-n-Out”).After 28 years of being open, Harry Snyder died of lung cancer leaving his company to his, at the time, 24 year-old son Rich. Rich worked at the restaurant his whole live and refused to change anything his parents had established:”There is money to be made by doing those things, but you lose something and I don't want to lose what I was raised with all my live”(“The History of In-n-Out”). The only thing Rich ever changed was adding lemon lime soda to the menu, other than that there was no changes to the original menu. There is however a secret menu only true lovers of the burger spot know of that consists of animal style fries, and a hamburger with grilled onions. In 1992 the restaurant moved for the first time to Las Vegas, but sadly Rich only got to see that expansion because of his death in a
As you may know In-N-Out’s menu consists of the double-double (two patties with two slices of cheese), the classic cheeseburger and the basic hamburger. As well as many varieties of soft drinks for you to choose from. Don’t forget about their milkshakes made with real ice-cream that come in chocolate, vanilla, and strawberry. Their french fries are made with vegetable oil and are free from cholesterol. In-N-Out also has a not so secretly secret menu such as their protein style burgers which in fact is just a burger except instead of buns they are replaced by hand-leafed lettuce ( In-N-Out.Com). The animal style that was brought in 1961 is a burger with tomatoes, lettuce, pickles, mustard cooked beef patties, grilled onions and some of their spread with a little more extra (In-N-Out.Com). Animal fries are a common favorite to many people which is like the Animal Style Burger just with 2 slices of melted cheese, some grilled onions and the spread topped with it too. Other items such as The Flying Dutchman is just 2 patties and 2 slices of cheese (BadMouth.Com). Back in the early days the hamburgers were 25 cents, the French fries were sold for 15 cents and cold drinks were 10 cents. Today their prices have increased slightly. “In-N-Out that’s what a hamburger is all about.”
A lot of people think that Ray Kroc created McDonalds. I will tell you that this is not true; he started out as a milkshake mixer salesman. One day he got a huge order for eight milkshake mixers from a small restaurant in California, he was really curious why they needed so much. He went to investigate and found Dick and Mac McDonald with their small business. According to www.mcdonalds.com they said “Ray Kroc told the McDonalds brothers that they should spread their business all over the U.S., in 19...
Also in 1961, Kroc opened Hamburger University in the basement of a McDonald’s restaurant, in Elk Grove Village, Illinois. By 1963, McDonald’s was selling a million hamburgers a day. The company went public in 1965. In 1967 the opened their first international restaurant in Canada. In 1971, McDonald’s restaurants opened in Europe and Australia.
Everyone has heard of McDonald’s, but where did this familiar name come from? When people think of American food, it is not uncommon for two golden arches to appear in their minds. This story began with two brothers Dick and Mac McDonald who owned and ran a small restaurant in San Bernardino, California during the 1940s. In 1954 a man named Ray Kroc came across these two brothers while selling multi-mixers and was impressed with the business they were running. The menu was compact, listing options for only a few burgers, fries and beverages, but the restaurant was effective in its operation. Ray Kroc pitched the idea of spreading McDonald’s restaurants across the United States and in 1955 he founded the McDonald’s Corporation. By 1960 he bought the exclusive rights to the name. Kroc was able to expand substantially on this small business so that by 1958 McDonald’s sold its 100 millionth hamburger. (“McDonald’s.com”)

As previously mentioned, food was traditionally considered as a mere means of subsistence, especially in the 17th and 18th centuries. The early history of food involved its use to define shared identities and reflected religious and group customs. Furthermore, food was filled with psychological, cultural, religious, and emotional significance. During this period, a unique court tradition of cuisine and sophisticated table manners emerged to distinguish the social elite from the ordinary people. However, during the 19th century, the history of food slightly changed as it became a defining symbol of national identity. This period was characterized by the association of several dishes to particular countries and cultures (Mintz, par 1). For instance, American hamburger and tomato-based Italian spaghetti are cultural foods that were in...
Hamburgers and Ground Beef Each individual in America has a goal he or she wants to accomplish. Whether it’s to purchase a new car or a huge home, it’s a goal that wants to be reached. However, with the amount of fast food that Americans eat today, they will have a hard time accomplishing these goals because of the obesity or even disease they’ll have from the fast food. One major fast food that we like to eat while on the go is hamburgers. If it’s breakfast we grab a burger, if it’s lunch we grab a burger and even when it’s dinner we grab a burger and might throw in some fire and a huge soda to go with it.
Fast food started from basic stands on the sides of streets. It has always been connected with the expansion of urban development. When the urban areas gained a greater population the amount of food stands on the sides of streets did, as well. The United States is most famous for fast food. The first ever fast food restaurant was called White Castle; it was built in Wichita in 1921. White Castle had a very minimal based menu. It was mostly well- known for their hamburger. This restaurant was the start of the fast food chains in America. About 20 years later, one of the most famous fast food chains in America was created. McDonalds was built in 1940, and it was created as a drive-in restaurant with a wide-ranging barbecue menu. Later on, McDonalds had created a 9-item menu that consisted of: hamburger, cheeseburger, three soft drinks, milk, coffee, potato chips, pie, French fries, and milkshakes. As you can see, fast foo...
