Hamburger

… … …
This article is about the dish. For the meat served as
part of such a dish, see Patty. For other uses, see
Hamburger (disambiguation).

A hamburger (also burger for short) is a

sandwich consisting of one or more cooked
patties of ground meat, usually beef, placed
inside a sliced bread roll or bun. The patty may
be pan fried, grilled, smoked[1] or flame broiled.
Hamburgers are often served with cheese,
lettuce, tomato, onion, pickles, bacon, or
chiles; condiments such as ketchup, mustard,
mayonnaise, relish, or "special sauce"; and are
frequently placed on sesame seed buns. A
hamburger topped with cheese is called a
cheeseburger.[2]

The term "burger" can also be applied to the

meat patty on its own, especially in the United
Kingdom, where the term "patty" is rarely
used, or the term can even refer simply to
ground beef. Since the term hamburger usually
implies beef, for clarity "burger" may be
prefixed with the type of meat or meat
substitute used, as in beef burger, turkey
burger, bison burger, or veggie burger.

Hamburgers are sold at fast-food restaurants,

diners, and specialty and high-end restaurants
(where burgers may sell for several times the
cost of a fast-food burger, but may be one of
the cheaper options on the menu). There are
many international and regional variations of
the hamburger.
