A classic burger enhanced with a generous amount of sauce for added flavor and moisture. This dish often features a beef patty, soft burger bun, and an array of toppings, with the extra sauce acting as a zesty complement to the flavors.
The hamburger originated in the United States in the early 20th century but has deep roots in German cuisine, particularly in the city of Hamburg, from where the name is derived. Over the years, the burger has evolved, with countless variations, including the addition of sauces to enhance its taste.
Rich and savory, with a balance of meaty flavors from the patty and the tanginess or sweetness from the extra sauce. The bun provides a soft texture, while the sauce can add creaminess or heat, depending on its type.
