📖 The Story Behind This Dish

The hamburger is said to have developed in America from the Hamburg steak brought over by German immigrants, with the bun-sandwich style established in the early 20th century. It spread nationwide with drive-in and fast-food culture and is also a home barbecue staple. Patty thickness, doneness, and toppings vary with region and household.
