RIVERTON, Wyo. (Sept. 8, 2026) — September brings two of America’s favorite food holidays, giving burger lovers twice the reason to fire up the grill. National Double Cheeseburger Day is celebrated on September 15, followed by National Cheeseburger Day on September 18. Hi Mountain Seasonings invites backyard grill masters to celebrate both occasions with its line of Gourmet Burger Seasonings.
While historians continue to debate who deserves credit for creating the first hamburger and cheeseburger, one thing is certain—the cheeseburger has become one of America’s most iconic comfort foods.
Some credit Louis’ Lunch in New Haven, Connecticut, with serving one of America’s first hamburgers in 1900, while others point to Lionel Sternberger, who reportedly created the cheeseburger in 1926 by placing a slice of cheese on a sizzling hamburger at his father’s California sandwich shop. Other restaurants in California, Kentucky, and Colorado have also laid claim to the invention, underscoring that the cheeseburger’s history is almost as rich as its flavor.
“The cheeseburger has earned its place as an American classic because it’s simple, satisfying and endlessly customizable,” said Hans Hummel, President of Hi Mountain Seasonings. “Whether you prefer a traditional cheeseburger, a towering double cheeseburger or your own signature creation, the seasoning is what transforms a good burger into an unforgettable one.”
Hi Mountain Seasonings makes it easy to create restaurant-quality burgers at home with six bold Gourmet Burger Seasonings:
- Chipotle Burger Seasoning – A smoky blend with just the right amount of southwestern heat.
