    Between 1924 and 1926, Lionel Sternberger grilled the first cheeseburger in Pasadena, California, [which still bears likeness to his name]. The name of the restaurant and the precise year has been debated by cheeseburger enthusiasts.[2] When Sternberger died in 1964, Time magazine noted in its February 7 issue that:
    …at the hungry age of 16, [Sternberger] experimentally dropped a slab of American cheese on a sizzling hamburger while helping out at his father's sandwich shop in Pasadena, thereby inventing the cheeseburger…[3]
    Cheeseburgers appear to have been invented independently in different regions. For example, Kaelin's Restaurant in Louisville, Kentucky claims to have invented the cheeseburger in 1934.[4] One year later, a trademark for the name "cheeseburger" was awarded to Louis Ballast of the Humpty Dumpty Drive-In in Denver, Colorado.[5]

                Actually it's Edinburgh. I know how much you like to ensure things are perfectly correct around here
                Don't aim for success if you want it; just do what you love and believe in, and it will come naturally.

                  LOL! Looks like one slipped in, since I recalled Edinborough TRAVEL mistakenly!

                  Just playing games, and not the one at hand?
