National Cheeseburger Day is apparently on September 18 every year, and a number of establishments are offering free burgers or discounted burgers. Sonic does not appear to be among them.

Apparently there are several possible origins of the cheeseburger. 

“One story claims that the cheeseburger was created between 1924 and 1926 by a chef named Lionel Sternberger,”  says Punchbowl, a party planning service.

“As the story goes, a homeless man dining at Sternberger’s restaurant in Pasadena, Calif., suggested the addition of a slice of cheese to his hamburger order. Sternberger complied, eventually added it to his menu, and the rest is history.”
