Which was the first fast food restaurant?

In the late 1910s, a man named Walter Anderson began a business of selling burgers. He didn’t enough money to open a restaurant, so he sold them from his car!

But Walter’s burgers did better than he expected, and soon he realized his car wasn’t enough. He partnered with E.W. Ingram and opened a restaurant named White Castle in 1921. And that, my friends, is the first fast food restaurant in the world!

With 16th November being National Fast Food Day, this seems like the perfect opportunity to learn the history behind our favorite foods, and also have some fun making fast food crafts for kids!
