Every May 28, the world reveres and celebrates the tasty, handy-dandy hamburger. And why not? Many find the classic hamburger as comfort food. It is fairly easy to find or make, and it is as tasty as it looks.
As Taste Atlas defines it, a hamburger “is an extremely popular sandwich consisting of one or more meat patties placed in a bun or a bread roll. The meat is usually accompanied by various ingredients such as tomato slices, onions, pickles, or lettuce, and numerous condiments such as mayonnaise, ketchup, or salsa.”
