Where it comes from
The cheeseburger has been on McDonald's menu since 1948, when Richard and Maurice McDonald relaunched their San Bernardino, California, restaurant with a nine item menu and their fast Speedee Service System. A hamburger cost 15 cents and a cheeseburger 19. Who first put cheese on a burger is not known for sure; several American cooks of the 1920s and 30s have been credited.
