Walter A. Anderson
(20th century)

The White Castle hamburger chain was founded in Wichita, Kansas by Walter A. Anderson and E. W. Ingram.  Anderson was a cook, and together with Ingram, an insurance executive, they started the company in 1921. They sold their steam fried hamburgers, 18 per pound of ground beef, cooked on a bed of onions, for a nickel.

White Castle is the oldest hamburger chain. White Castle sells about 500 million hamburgers a year.

Note:
There is now a White Castle Recipe Book!
