Frank and Charles Menches claim to have sold a ground beef sandwich at the Erie County Fair in 1885 in [[Hamburg, New York]].<ref name=Beach /> During the fair, they ran out of pork sausage for their sandwiches and substituted beef.<ref name=Harmon /> The brothers exhausted their supply of sausage, so they purchased chopped-up beef from a butcher, Andrew Klein. Historian Joseph Streamer wrote that the meat was from Stein's market, not Klein's, despite Stein's having sold the market in 1874.<ref name=Harmon /> The story notes that the name of the hamburger comes from Hamburg, New York, not Hamburg, Germany.<ref name=Harmon /> Frank Menches's obituary in ''[[The New York Times]]'' states that these events took place at the 1892 Summit County Fair in [[Akron, Ohio]].<ref>"Obituary: Charles Menches."
