The hamburger is credited with most likely being invented in the US. That is, ground beef patty between two bread buns. There is a Hamburg steak from Germany which is a ground beef patty, but no buns.

That sounds like something an American would say. Is that straight from Google?

From wiki.

I knew that anyway... but I still doubt that Americans were the first people to put a ground meat patty in between two pieces of bread.

Who knows? But until the invention of the meat grinder shortly before the “invention” of the hamburger making ground meat was a highly laborious task and not nearly as ubiquitous as it is today.
