For National Cheeseburger Day, free mini cheeseburgers at Dog Haus

Drop your kale salads! It’s National Cheeseburger Day, and Dog Haus is offering its new mini cheeseburger for free at all of its locations until 5 p.m. Wednesday.

Though there are several competing claims about who invented the first cheeseburger, one story attributes it to a fry cook in Pasadena. Circa 1926, Lionel Sternberger slapped a piece of cheese on a sizzling burger at his dad’s Rite Spot sandwich shop, and the rest is history.

Dog Haus’ cheeseburger is 2 ounces of Angus beef with grilled onion, melted white American cheese, grilled tomatoes and Haus sauce on a King’s Hawaiian bun.

Locations include two Dog Hauses in Pasadena and one in Alhambra.
105 N. Hill Ave., Pasadena, (626) 577-HAUS; 410 E. Main St., Alhambra, (626) 282-HAUS; 93 E. Green St., Pasadena, (626) 683-0808; doghausdogs.com.
