HAMBURGER STEAK SANDWICH

   The Chicago Tribune gives us an important "hamburger" citation.  SAVEUR,
June/July 2004, pg. 33, gives Fletcher Davis credit for the "hamburger" at the
1904 St. Louis fair.

VIANDS AT THE CURB.; HUNGRY PEOPLE FED BY THE NOCTURNAL SANDWICH WAGON. Its
Menu Quite Extensive, the Food Wholesome, and the Prices Cheap--View of the
Patrons of the Establishment as They Pass By--How the First Restaurant on Wheels
Came to Be Started in Chicago--On Gala Nights Considerable Money Is Taken In.
Chicago Daily Tribune. Apr 15, 1894. p. 44 (1 page) :
   Now the sandwich wagon is considered as much of an institution in Chicago
as the baked potato or fried fish stands are of the English cities. (...)
   You can have fried chicken for 15 cents.  Ham and eggs, two eggs, and
Swiss cheese and Hamburger steak sandwiches are 10 cents each, and plain ham and a
single egg sandwich are each listed at 5 cents.
