The inscription reads: On this site in 1985 Louis E. Ballast created the Cheeseburger. His restaurant, the Humpty Dumpty Barrel Drive-In was Colorado's first drive-in and was commonly known as the Barrel. The Cheeseburger trademark was registered by Mr. Ballast on March 5, 1935. Dedicated March 5, 1978.
According to one source, Mr. Ballast had tried other add-ons including peanut butter and a Hershey bar before hitting on cheese. He never went beyond registering the trademark with the state, so was never able to enforce exclusivity of the term. The Barrel cheeseburger included relish, a secret sauce, shredded lettuce, and a toasted bun. The drive-in closed in 1974 and the location is now a bank.
