Lionel Sternberger is said to have invented the cheeseburger in the mid-1920s at this roadside snack stand on Colorado Boulevard in Pasadena. Pictured is Lionel's father, Herman Sternberger. The stand was later rebuilt as a restaurant named the Rite Spot. The photograph was displayed in at least one restaurant later operated by the family and appears to have been labeled to reflect the franchise name.
