A Bite Of History

Issue: March 2025

Picture this: It’s fourth-century Rome, and a mouthwatering aroma lures you to a vendor’s stall. You haggle for a burger—well, the precursor to today’s version. This baked beef patty, blended with pine kernels, black and green pepper, and a splash of white wine, is fit for a Caesar. The combination of bold flavors and the wine’s subtle depth creates a sensational ground-round rissole.

Holy McCow!

Congratulations, you’ve just discovered the world’s first burger.
