The modern burger evolved from simple ground meat sandwiches enjoyed by European immigrants in the late 19th century. Hamburg steaks, often served between slices of bread, gained popularity at fairs and exhibitions, eventually solidifying into the form we know today during the early 20th century.

Burgers offer a diverse range of flavors from savory beef to umami-rich mushrooms, tangy pickles, and creamy cheeses, all unified by a soft, toasted bun.
Meat burgers typically feature ground beef seasoned with salt, pepper, and often garlic or onion powder. Fish burgers leverage flaky fish like cod or salmon, often breaded or seasoned with herbs and spices. Common toppings include lettuce, tomato, onion, pickles, cheese (cheddar, Swiss, Monterey Jack), bacon, mayonnaise, ketchup, mustard, and various sauces. Vegetarian options may include bean patties, veggie burgers, or portobello mushrooms, often accompanied by similar toppings.
Meat Quality Matters
Use high-quality ground beef with a fat content of around 20% for optimal flavor and juiciness. For fish, select fresh, firm fillets and handle gently to avoid breakage.
Don't Overwork the Meat
Gently form the patties without over-compacting the meat to prevent toughness. Season simply with salt and pepper before cooking. For fish, ensure the patty is seasoned well to complement the fish's natural flavor.
Sear for Flavor
Cook burgers on a hot surface (grill, skillet, or griddle) to achieve a flavorful sear. Avoid pressing down on the patty, which releases juices. For fish, cook until the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C) and the fish flakes easily with a fork.
Toast the Buns
Toasting the buns prevents them from becoming soggy and adds texture. Lightly butter the cut sides before toasting.
