Adding cheese to a burger became quite popular during the late 1920s.The culinary creation has been accredited to Lionel Sternberger, who claims he came up with the 
invention when he was a 16-year-old fry cook at his father’s “The Rite Spot” sandwich shop in Pasadena, California. Sternberger said he “experimentally dropped a slab of American cheese on a sizzling hamburger.”
