What could be more Italian than a hamburger? Say what?
March 2, 2017
The Classic American Hamburger, one of our country’s truly “national” dishes, served from sea to shining sea. But in recent years, the hamburger has also found its way across the Atlantic ocean: Today, hamburgers and amburgherie (ahm-BUR-gheh-REE-eh), in other words, hamburger joints, are among the most popular dishes in Italy. Don’t believe us? Just look at this post from a popular Italian food blog from last year. It offers readers a list of the “best hamburgers in Milan” (and there are many of…

They love Champagne as much as we do here in the U.S.,…
