Pasadena claims its slice of burger history: A slice of cheese, that is. The city launches Pasadena Cheeseburger Week to promote local restaurants and put its name on the invention of a now-ubiquitous American sandwich.

Photo: According to family legend, Lionel Sternberger invented the cheeseburger in the mid-1920s at this roadside snack stand in Pasadena. Pictured is Lionel’s father, Herman Sternberger. Credit: Family photo / December 31, 1969
