Hamburger and French Fries. What put them together?!
Anyway, there seems to be some thought at least, that Fletcher Davis first paired the hamburger and french fries at the world's fair in 1904.
He claims to have invented the hamburger, but then so do about 10 other people.
Answers: French fish and chips?

American dish ! Worlds Fair . !89? something . History Channel
a really hungry dude, i think it was elvis
Back in history, the main meal consisted of meat and potato, when it could be afforded. To make the amount of food stretch, bread was added, and vegetables when in season.
So your typical hamburger meal has the meat, the bread and the veggies, and the potato.
The question begs, though, how did the fried potato come into being?
Like the French do Fish and Chips the americans around 1940's started doing the Burgers and Fries, It was a spin off of the French's Fish and Chip, But becuase the american people were more into red meat the Hamburger went over better then the Fish, And chips or Fries they are the same.
This was brought back by the young men during the war, and has been an american trend ever since.
A genius!!!!!!!!!
