A hamburger (or, less frequently, a hamburg, or in the United Kingdom, a beefburger) is a variant on a sandwich involving a patty of ground meat that is almost always beef. The meat can be grilled, fried, or broiled, and is generally served with various condiments inside a bun baked specially for this purpose.
Many fast food restaurants rely heavily on the hamburger sandwich for the bulk of their sales. The McDonald's chain of restaurants sells a burger called the Big Mac that is possibly the best known hamburger, and certainly the world's best selling. Another major fast-food chain, Burger King, sells a burger called the WhopperThe Whopper is the flagship menu item of international fast food chain Burger King. The product is a hamburger, consisting of a quarter-pound fire- grilled beef patty, sesame seed bun, lettuce, sliced onion and tomato, ketchup, mayonnaise, and pickles.. These burgers are often served with french friesBritish cuisine For other meanings of the word see CHIPS (disambiguation French fries (called french fries in the United States and Canada, chips in the United Kingdom, Ireland, and the Commonwealth [though not Canada]; frites (or pommes frites in France.
The name comes from the GermanThe Federal Republic of Germany ( German: Bundesrepublik Deutschland is one of the world's leading industrialized countries, located in the middle of the European Union. It is bordered to the north by the North Sea, Denmark and the Baltic Sea, to the east city of HamburgHamburg is Germany's second largest city (after Berlin) and its principal port. The official name Freie und Hansestadt Hamburg recalls its membership in the mediaeval Hanseatic League and the fact that Hamburg is a city state and one of Germany's sixteen, a person from Hamburg being a "Hamburger"; by extension inanimate objects such as ground beef patties that either originated or enjoyed early popularity there took the same name. (Unlike the city it is derived from, the word "hamburger" is spelled as a common noun, with a lowercase letter " HH is the eighth letter of the Latin alphabet. History The Semitic letter kh t) probably represented the phoneme /X/ ( pharyngeal voiceless fricative) ( IPA [h]). The form of the letter probably stood for a fence. Early Greek H stood for /h/, but later on".) Originally a ground beef patty was known as "Hamburger steak" (first mentioned in an American cookbookA cookbook contains information on cooking, and a list of recipes.

Salt or in a bun it was called a "Hamburger sandwich". By the mid 20th century both terms were commonly shortened to "hamburger" or simply " burger". The term burger has now become generic, and may refer to sandwiches that have fillings other than a beef patty.
The hamburger's history is disputed. There is a description of something that is almost certainly similar in Roman texts. In Hamburg it was common to put a piece of roast pork into a roll days, called Rundstück warm, although this is missing the essence of the modern hamburger, that the meat first be ground.
Seymour, Wisconsin claims to have invented the modern hamburger. Charlie Nagreen tried selling fried meatballs at the Outagamie County fair in 1885, but customers found them hard to eat while walking around the fair, so Nagreen flattened it and made it into a sandwich he called the "hamburger." Seymour is home to the Hamburger Hall of Fame and the world's largest hamburger, weighing in at 8,266 pounds.Another claim is made by a small lunch counter in the town of New Haven, Connecticut, named Louis' Lunch. It is sometimes credited with having invented this quick businessman's meal for busy office workers in the late 19th Century. Louis Lunch was still serving hamburgers from its closet-sized original location in the 1970s, and the restaurant still serves burgers from its relocated stand since then.
Due to widely prevalent anti- German sentiment during the First World War, hamburgers were renamed " salisbury steaks" for the duration; their popularity even after the war was severely depressed until the White Castle chain of restaurants created a business model featuring sales of large number of small hamburgers (sometimes called "sliders," "grease grenades," "gut bombs" and other dysphemisms) in the mid- 1920s. The fast-food hamburger began its ascent to modern popularity when Ray Kroc opened the first McDonald's franchise in the mid- 1950s.
