A strange little side quest
Hamburger Girl may feel immediate, but the ideas around food history have been evolving for a very long time. Electric refrigeration reached the American mass market in the late 1920s, changing how households stored food and even how desserts such as ice cream could be made at home. That is only half the story. SimCity grew out of Will Wright's enjoyment of the map editor he had built for an earlier game; the act of shaping a city became the game itself. That gives Hamburger Girl a little more company than it first appears to have.
