July 28th is National Hamburger Day, so let's celebrate by finding out who you think has the best burger in the Stateline.

It was on this day back in 1900 that the first burger was served at a diner in Connecticut, sparking our love affair with this particular slab of grilled beef.

Here's a few fun facts about hamburgers from Foodimentary.com:

• White Castle is the oldest fast food restaurant franchise in the world.
• Americans eat more burgers in restaurants and on the go than they do at home.
• The largest hamburger ever was made for a food festival in Wisconsin and it weighed 8,000 pounds!
