The Burger’s Journey, Part 2: From Happy Meals to Global Gourmet Grills

Eva and Maite continue their burger series with the invention of the Happy Meal and the powerful marketing of fast food to families. Along the way, they spotlight the often overlooked contributions of women and trace the evolution of the burger from fast food staple to gourmet icon, including the rise of the smashburger. As the burger crosses borders, it transforms, absorbing local flavors and traditions. This episode reveals how one of the world’s most recognizable foods continues to evolve, reflecting the tastes, histories, and creativity of the people who make it their own.
