Original artwork description:

Believe it or not chef/clown Ronald McDonald did not invent the cheeseburger. Richard and Maurice McDonald opened the very first McDonalds in San Bernardino, California, in 1940. Legend has it that in 1924, however, a certain Lionel Sternberger, working as a cook in his father's sandwich shop 'The Rite Spot' in Pasadena, California, experimentally dropped a slice of cheese onto a hamburger and the culinary glory of cheesy meat was born. Had the cheese Lionel used been called 'stern' cheese it would have made sense for the Sternbergers to trademark their marvellous invention the 'Sternberger'. Credit for trademarking the name 'cheeseburger' in 1934, however, goes to Gus Belt founder of the Humpty Dumpty Drive-In in Denver. As you can see the cheeseburger thus has a colorful history with a mad cast of characters. Someone should paint a picture - or eight pictures - of this classic snack in celebration. In the US National Cheeseburger Day is on September 18.
