The hamburger is an iconic dish of American cuisine, symbolizing a quick and hearty snack. Its history traces back to Germany, where beef patties from Hamburg became popular among immigrants. Over time, the recipe took on a classic form: a juicy patty fried with garlic and onion, a soft sesame bun, and refreshing vegetables like tomatoes, cucumbers, and crispy onions. The ketchup and mustard sauce adds zest and balances the flavor. This burger is perfect for family dinners, friendly gatherings, or simply moments of enjoying food, offering a combination of tender meat and crunchy bun.
