  LOU'S LASTING LEGACY!

  I'd be willing to bet very few of you

ever heard of Louis Lassing. And that's

a shame! He should have a day named

for him. And it probably should be today!

It was July 28th of 1900 that Lou

changed history. Lou operated a

restaurant in Nw Haven, Conn. His

friend, businessman Gary Wedmore

was in a big hurry when he came in

asking for something he could take

with him as he headed for a meeting.

Lou grabbed some ground beef that

was close at hand and threw it on the

grill. He put the cooked meat between

two slices of bread and Gary went on

his way. It is the first documented

production of a Hamburger! In fact,

the incident is officially recognized

by the Library of Congress! And, by

the way, Lou's restaurant is still open

in New Haven and still serves Hamburgers!

Hope you'll remember Lou today, maybe

have a burger, and that all your NEWS is

good!
