Steamed cheeseburger

[6] The steamed cheeseburger is believed to have been invented at a restaurant called Jack's Lunch in Middletown, Connecticut, in either the 1920s or 1930s.

The steamed cheeseburgers at Jack's Lunch were "cooked in a tall copper box filled with simmering water for 18 tin trays of square ground-beef patties."

[8] Ted's Restaurant in Meriden is the most famous eatery that serves steamed cheeseburgers,[2][9] but they are also available at establishments in the adjacent towns of Wallingford,[3] Middletown,[3] Portland, and Cromwell;[10][3] further east in East Hampton;[3] and further south in North Haven.

[12][13] Ted's also has a concession stand behind section 101 inside the XL Center arena in Hartford.
