路易士午餐店
地方性遺產
您喜歡吃漢堡嗎？您知道漢堡的起源嗎？
美國歷史上的第一個漢堡，於1895年出現在康乃狄克州新哈芬(New
Haven)一間專賣三明治的店舖內，店名叫做「路易士午餐店」。
路易士拉森(Louis
Lassen)是路易士午餐店的創辦人，他駕駛著一輛小型的午餐車，專賣牛肉三明治給當地的工廠工人。因為他希望能充分善用牛肉，不在每日的午餐尖峰時間浪費任何多餘牛肉，所以他把牛肉絞碎，燒烤後，夾在兩塊麵包間，端給客戶享用，而這就是美國的第一份漢堡。
第三代及第四代的拉森家族，仍在小小的皇冠街上，經營供應簡便午餐的餐館。而漢堡仍是該餐館的招牌餐點。它的漢堡肉是用每天的新鮮牛肉絞碎做成，手捏成型後，再經慢火燒煮、 直立煎烤，然後再配上客人選擇的配菜 (店內只供應三種配菜供客戶選擇：起士、蕃茄及洋蔥) ，最後再用兩片吐司將全部的食材包住，送到客人手上。
想要蕃茄醬或芥末？放棄吧！他們只會明確的告訴您：「沒有」。
餐館的主人會表示，這兒可是世界第一好吃漢堡的發源地。也許，這間店的經營者最著名的一點就是，他們只供應拉森式漢堡給店內的客戶，若要其他菜色，請另覓他處用餐。
Do you love hamburgers? Do you know how they were created?
The first hamburgers in U.S. history were served in New Haven, Connecticut, at Louis' Lunch sandwich shop in 1895. Louis Lassen, founder of Louis' Lunch, ran a small lunch wagon selling steak sandwiches to local factory workers. Because he didn't like to waste the excess beef from his daily lunch rush, he ground it up, grilled it, and served it between two slices of bread -- and America's first hamburger was created.
The small Crown Street luncheonette is still owned and operated by third and fourth generations of the Lassen family. Hamburgers are still the specialty of the house, where steak is ground fresh each day and hand molded, slow cooked, broiled vertically, and served between two slices of toast with your choice of only three "acceptable" garnishes: cheese, tomato, and onion.
Want ketchup or mustard? Forget it. You will be told "no" in no uncertain terms. This is the home of the greatest hamburger in the world, claim the owners, who are perhaps best known for allowing their customers to have a burger the Lassen way or not at all.
