BBB Destination - Louisville

The BBB has headed to Louisville before to brag on the local cuisine; this time it's all about that American favorite, the Cheeseburger. Kaelin's Restaurant claims to have started it all back in 1934. To hear them tell it ...

One day, [Carl Kaelin] was in the kitchen and his thoughts turned to the American cheese they kept on hand. Suddenly, it occurred to him that if he put a slice of cheese on top of a hamburger patty just before it was done, the cheese would melt down into the patty and adds a new tang to the hamburger. He tried it and it was an instant success! Carl christened his new culinary delight the “cheeseburger”. It’s popularity spread nationwide.

Not only that, their menu sports fried pickles. I gotta get to this place!
