MAIN COURSE: Fish Burgers
|
|
|
The first fish burger to make it big—McDonald’s Filet-O-Fish—was created in 1962 by a Cincinnati franchise owner after noticing his sales dropped every Friday when local Catholic customers avoided meat. It became so popular that it beat out a rival idea called the “Hula Burger” (a grilled pineapple sandwich!) in a sales test—and has been on menus ever since.

DESSERT: Tiramisu

|
Tiramisu means “pick me up” in Italian, referring to its energizing combination of coffee and cocoa. It is a relatively modern classic, believed to have been created in the 1960s in Treviso. Despite its simplicity, it became one of the most famous Italian desserts worldwide thanks to its rich yet airy texture and no-bake preparation.
