National Cheeseburger Day: Where To Get The Best Cheeseburger

SOUTHLAND — Lionel Sternberger. Ring a bell? He made one of the most recognizable mistakes in American history, the creation of the cheeseburger. This Friday, Sept. 18, is National Cheeseburger Day, and many people around the nation can thank Sternberger for accidentally dropping a piece of American Cheese on a hamburger at his father's sandwich shop in 1924.

Americans across the country will be flocking to burger joints to celebrate the holiday, and Patch asked readers their favorite place is to get the slab of meat and cheese.
