It's National Cheeseburger Day...so here's a bit of history on the burger along with some freebies & more!

Where Did The Cheeseburger Come From:

Before we get to the good stuff, we must first thank Lionel Sternberger for the invention of the cheeseburger.

According to the How Stuff Works website, the legend is that Lionel was working at his father's roadside stand in California, and he burnt a hamburger. So he decided to throw some cheese on it, and basically cover up his mistake. Like flipping the couch cushion - only his mistake is now one of the world's favorite foods.

Favorite Cheeses For Your Burger Fix:

What is America's favorite cheese on a cheeseburger? Rachel Ray says that the number one cheese is American Cheese. Coming in at number two is cheddar. Don't argue with Rachel!

As someone who cooks, she is actually spot on. The melting quality of both cheeses make them perfect for cheeseburgers.

Las Vegas Cheeseburger Specials:

All the usuals in Las Vegas - McDonald's, Burger King, Wendy's - and others, have deals on this joyous day of artery clogging.

A bunch of fast-food, and slow food chains, have deals today. Here are some great special throughout Las Vegas (and beyond). Some are literally free!

All of these are at participating locations, so be sure to check before you hop in the car to celebrate at your favorite spot.

But what The Mike & Carla Morning Show wanted to know was what was your "Cheeseburger" hole in the wall here in Las Vegas? It's where you go to get the "real" juicy, greasy, and finger licking good burger! So check out the segment below to hear that! But just remember... in the words of Jimmy Buffet: Cheeseburger in paradise, heaven on earth with an onion slice.
