In the early 1900's, ground beef was actually a very unpopular food after the release of Upton Sinclair's exposé The Jungle, which revealed the meat packing industry's poor sanitation practices. Not only did White Castle establish itself as the first fast food hamburger chain, but it also helped reshape the public's perception of ground beef by focusing on the cleanliness of its restaurants. The buildings were painted white all over with stainless steel interiors, and employees wore spotless uniforms. Apparently, it worked. |

Besides being known for its use of "fresh, never-frozen beef," Wendy's hamburgers also have a signature square shape to them, unlike any of their competitors. Why? According to Thrillist, founder Dave Thomas took the phrase "not cutting corners" seriously. More importantly, he wanted the burgers to be square because the patties stick out of the bun in a way that showcases the meat's quality. Clever man he was, that Dave Thomas. |
