A truck with heated tires that runs over cold sandwiches, magically transforming them into pressed, melty goodness? 4 sandwiches at once!

I was suspicious of their claim "das hamburger origional"
Then I realized this was a restaurant specializing in hamburgers.... in Hamburg.
Plausible

Hamburg, NY claims that as the birthplace of them. From the Erie County Fair.

Can't be a sponsor, but you'll need a sidekick to tackle all those hot Hamburg sandwiches.

My friend we can tackle this journey together - the beer will not drink it's self and the burgers will not eat themselves. Think of the knowledge we could share with humanity to make the world a better place!

We will have to write a chapter on burger/beer pairings. And cheese placement theories (over or under the other toppings?).

Cheese goes between the pattie and the other toppings.

Cheese goes between the pattie and the other toppings.
Or, cheese goes over the toppings, gets melted, and provides a delicious wrapping that encases all the toppings and anchors them to the patty(ies). Both ideas have merit.

The Texas historian Frank X. Tolbert attributes the invention of the hamburger to Fletcher Davis of Athens, Texas. Davis is believed to have sold hamburgers at his café at 115 Tyler Street in Athens, Texas, in the late 1880s, before bringing them to the 1904 St. Louis World's Fair.[2][3]

Late 1880s just missed it already being known to the public in Buffalo at the fair. Looks like the first copycat, though.

There is reference to the Buffalo Express newspaper having run an article on the hamburger before the Texas claim was even made. And the Texas claim was decades later and "oh I used to sell these" somewhere that no one can verify. The 1885 date in NY is verified as a public sale of the hamburger and predates the Wisconsin claim by six weeks. It's both the oldest verified claim AND the only one that makes sense given the name.
