The Birth of the American Hamburger
Few dishes evoke the American experience like the hamburger. In "The Remarkable People and Incredible Stories Behind America's Favorite Dishes," Carter traces the humble origins of this iconic sandwich back to New Haven, Connecticut, in the late 19th century. The story unfolds around Louis Lassen, a German immigrant who is widely credited with creating the first hamburger patty.
As Carter recounts, Lassen's innovation came about when a customer in his lunch wagon requested something quick and easy to eat. Inspired by the popular German dish, "Rundstück," Lassen quickly grilled a patty of ground beef and served it between two slices of toasted bread. The sandwich was an instant hit, and Lassen's creation soon spread throughout the country, becoming a quintessential American street food.

When it comes to American cuisine, barbecue reigns supreme. In her book, Carter explores the rich history and regional variations of this beloved tradition. From the smoky brisket of Texas to the tangy ribs of the Carolinas, each barbecue style tells a unique story of culinary heritage.

She delves into the techniques, flavors, and cultural significance of barbecue, revealing its deep roots in American history and its enduring popularity.
The Rise of American Pizza
Pizza, a dish with an Italian soul and an American heart, has become one of America's most beloved comfort foods. Carter's book traces the fascinating journey of pizza from its humble beginnings in Naples, Italy, to its transformation into a ubiquitous American icon.
Carter introduces readers to Italian immigrants like Gennaro Lombardi and John Amato, who brought their pizza-making skills to the shores of New York City in the early 20th century. She chronicles the evolution of American pizza, from the traditional Neapolitan pies to the thick, foldable New York-style slices, showcasing the creativity and adaptability of American cuisine.
The Sweet Symphony of American Pie
No discussion of American cuisine would be complete without paying homage to the beloved apple pie. In "The Remarkable People and Incredible Stories Behind America's Favorite Dishes," Carter traces the origins of this iconic dessert back to the kitchens of early American settlers.
Carter uncovers the stories behind regional variations of apple pie, from the classic New England apple pie to the Dutch apple pie, each with its unique blend of spices and flavors.
