The dish was invented in Placerville, California
, then known as Hangtown. According to most accounts, the dish was invented when a gold prospector
struck it rich, headed to the Cary House Hotel, and demanded the most expensive dish that the kitchen could provide. The most expensive ingredients available were eggs, which were delicate and had to be carefully brought to the mining town; bacon, which was shipped from the East Coast, and oysters, which had to be brought on ice from San Francisco, over 100 miles away.

When it was introduced, the hamburger consisted of two 4oz. beef patties, two slices of American cheese

Ranch" sauce.
