NATIONAL TURKEY LOVERS MONTH

Jensperspectiveblog 5 Comments

National Turkey Lovers Month in June proves that turkey is enjoyed many more times throughout the year than Thanksgiving!

Smoked and grilled turkey are some of the many reasons we slice up this flavorful bird all year long. But we eat more than just the roast turkey. Ground turkey makes a white meat chili that keeps us coming back for more; Renaissance faires live on turkey legs; Grilled turkey breasts make excellent meals, too.

When it comes to nutrition, the bird gets great numbers, too! White meat takes the win over dark meat when comparing fat and calories – 125 to 147 calories and 2 grams to 5 grams respectively for 3 ounces of roasted turkey. Of course, that depends on how the bird is prepared. If the turkey is dunked in a deep fryer, those numbers go up.

Try turkey with pasta.  Turkey Bacon Wraps make a great lunch or dinner.  Brighten a turkey salad with grapes and nuts, a tangy cheese and layer it with crisp lettuce on a crusty bun; serve with iced tea on the back porch on a sunny day with a friend.

NATIONAL HAMBURGER DAY

Jensperspectiveblog 3 Comments

National Hamburger Day is observed each year on May 28.  This day celebrates a summer-time grilling favorite and National Hamburger Day is part of National Hamburger Month.

Hamburger.  Seasoned ground beef, grilled and placed between two slices of bread or a bun. Top with sauteed onions, peppers, pickles, sliced onions, or cheese. Add condiments such as ketchup, mustard or mayo. Any one of these combinations would create a modern American version a hamburger.

 Some creative burger choices you might try are:

  • bleu cheese
  • coleslaw
  • avocado
  • fried egg
  • barbeque and peanut butter
  • mac & cheese

It is most likely that the hamburger sandwich first appeared in the 19th or early 20th centuries, but there is much controversy over its origin. Over the years, the hamburger has become a culinary icon in the United States.

The world’s largest hamburger was prepared on September 2, 2012, in Carlton, Minnesota by Black Bear Casino Resort and weighed in at 2,014 pounds.

NATIONAL CHEESEBURGER DAY

National Cheeseburger Day on September 18th honors America’s favorite sandwich with a slice of cheese. A few days ago, we celebrated National Double Cheeseburger Day. This food holiday is the lighter version. While only a single stack, this tasty burger still earns a celebration!There are many theories to the beginning of the cheeseburger dating back to the 1920s. One story suggests that Lionel Sternberger invented the cheeseburger in 1926 while working at his father’s Pasadena, California sandwich shop, The Rite Spot. During an experiment, he dropped a slice of American cheese on a sizzling hamburger.

However, like numerous iconic foods, many people and restaurants claim the origin story. For example, a restaurant in Los Angeles called O’Dell’s placed the cheeseburger on their menu in 1928. It came smothered with chili – all for the price of a quarter. Kaelin’s Restaurant in Louisville, Kentucky claims they invented the cheeseburger in 1934. One record that gives the Humpty Dumpty Drive-In in Denver, CO bragging rights is the trademark they received in 1935 for the name “cheeseburger.” Another who applied for a trademark of that word was Gus Belt, the founder of Steak n’ Shake. Sometime in the 1930s he also applied for the trademark. 

Despite all these claims, a couple of things are for sure. The cheeseburger checks all the marks for satisfying a craving, and the cheeseburger isn’t going anywhere!
