What is a "burger"?

A burger is a classic dish made by shaping ground beef into a flat, round patty and then cooking it by frying, grilling, or broiling. The ground beef is often seasoned with salt, pepper, and other spices to enhance its flavor. Once cooked, the burger is typically served between two halves of a bread bun, along with various toppings and condiments such as lettuce, tomato, onion, cheese, pickles, ketchup, mustard, or mayonnaise. Burgers are a beloved comfort food enjoyed around the world for their simplicity, versatility, and delicious flavor combinations. They are commonly served at fast-food restaurants, diners, and backyard barbecues, and can be customized to suit individual tastes and preferences.
