Excerpt
Biting into the history of hamburgers gave me a taste of just how much America has been influenced by other cultures. Hamburgers and hot dogs came from Germany, pizza from Italy, and French fries from Belgium. Just kidding, they came from France (although Belgium would argue with that). America’s favorite foods are flavored by wars, religion, science, immigration, and innovation in very important ways. For example, the Kellogg brothers might not have invented breakfast cereal if they hadn’t been Seventh Day Adventists.
