Frikadeller cross reference missing
There should be a cross reference to the Frikadeller wikipedia article, not even because they are somewhat similar (altough more firm) but because they are most likely the food from where the Hamburger (which is much softer) evolved: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frikadeller — Preceding unsigned comment added by 92.203.20.66 (talk) 21:45, 9 January 2014 (UTC)

Edit request on 7 May 2012
"Beef Burger"?? I'm just curious why it necessary to prefix it with the word "beef"? Since "non-beef" sandwiches .. such as chicken .. are called chicken sandwich. A burger is nothing else ... but a patty that is primarily made of beef wrapped in a bun.

 * Many confuse the initial 'ham' as just that, not knowing the origin, especially if English is not their first language or they haven't studied European/German/world history. Burger is derived from burg (town), and could have been anything else; (off topic) eggs florentine (derived from Florence) have...spinach. Dru of Id (talk) 12:00, 7 May 2012 (UTC)

Claims of invention
I remember Alistair Cook, in one of his 'Letters from America', stating that the Hamburger was named after the town of Hamburg in Pennsylvania USA. I can't remember which 'letter' it was - sometime in the 1980s or 1990s, long before the 'Taste of Hamburg-er Festival' began there in 2003. However, there's no mention of that in the article. 149.241.202.165 (talk) 21:36, 28 November 2012 (UTC) dpstat

safe cooking temperature inaccuracy?
article contains statement: Because of the potential for food-borne illness, the USDA recommends hamburgers be cooked to an internal temperature of 170 °F (80 °C). If cooked to this temperature, they are considered well-done.[27]

Reference [27] points to: http://www.fsis.usda.gov/OA/news/1998/colorpr.htm

That page contains statements: Thomas J. Billy, administrator of USDA's Food Safety and Inspection Service, explained that USDA studies show that the color of cooked ground beef patties can be quite variable. At 160 degrees F a safely cooked patty may look brown, pink or some variation of brown or pink. "The bottom line is that if you cook your burger to 160 degrees F on an instant-read food thermometer, you can enjoy a safe, juicy burger," said Billy. Use an accurate digital instant-read food thermometer to check the temperature throughout the patty. The temperature must reach 160 degrees F.

all of which mention 160deg as the safe temperature, not 170. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.164.120.135 (talk) 01:52, 2 December 2012 (UTC)

Grades of Beef in Fast Food
We need a new Section: We need to explain the grades of beef used in fast food hamburger places like McDonald's, In-N-Out Burger, Wendy's, etc. There are 8 grades of beef: Prime, Choice, and Select are the best, then the lower 5 are Standard, Commercial, Utility, Cutter and Canner. I've read that fast food places use the lowest three grades. (The lowest three grades are used for ground beef and hot dogs.) Also USDA "A" is a misnomer, the "A" just means that it's fit for human consumption, that's all, it could be the lowest grade of beef possible and still be given the "A" designation. There's a great deal of confusion (and urban myths) out there and people are really curious as to the quality of their meat in fast food places. Cattle are normally killed and slaughtered at 16 months since they're fully grown by then and it would be a waste of money to keep feeding them. But dairy cows live up to around 8 years old and I've read that these dairy cows are slaughtereed and used in fast food places. Also, if McDonald's has it's own herds, then who do they serve their Prime, Choice and Select cuts to? --Fancy uptown restaurants? They sure wouldn't put expensive meat in their hamburgers, especially since I've read that they use "Utility" grade beef in their hamburgers. What do they do with the Cutter and Canner grades? Sell it for dog food? Or put it in their hamburgers? And the idiotic claim that everything in the burger is "100% beef" is very misleading, they could put the cattle hooves in the meat and it would still be "100% beef", so the "100% beef" is basically a lie that is used as a marketing ploy. People really want to know what they're eating, it's a health issue and a consumer right. And the fast food places are very deceptive and misleading. 50.202.81.2 (talk) 07:50, 9 April 2013 (UTC)

Intracellular parasites (Sarcocystis) identified in two Hamburger samples
In Annals of Diagnostic Pathology Volume 12, Issue 6, December 2008, Pages 406–409 ("Fast food hamburgers: what are we really eating?"), an analysis of the meat of 8 fast-food Hamburger found that two of the samples contained sarcocystis parasites.

"Water content by weight ranged from 37.7% to 62.4% (mean, 49%). Meat content in the hamburgers ranged from 2.1% to 14.8% (median, 12.1%). The cost per gram of hamburger ranged from $0.02 to $0.16 (median, $0.03) and did not correlate with meat content. Electron microscopy showed relatively preserved skeletal muscle. A variety of tissue types besides skeletal muscle were observed including connective tissue (n = 8), blood vessels (n = 8), peripheral nerve (n = 8), adipose tissue (n = 7), plant material (n = 4), cartilage (n = 3), and bone (n = 2). In 2 hamburgers, intracellular parasites (Sarcocystis) were identified".--TraceyR (talk) 09:13, 13 February 2014 (UTC)

Other hamburger-steak claims Various non-specific claims of invention relate to the term "hamburger steak" which is not a sandwich.

The reason is that it is an over-sized ground beef patty that is served without being in a bun or between bread slices. Everyone knows this. If it were served in a bun or between slices of bread, it would have just been called a hamburger.

"Sandwich"
Is a hamburger really a sandwich?? 184.23.178.210 (talk) 23:36, 29 April 2015 (UTC)


 * How could a Hamburger be a sandwich? A sandwich is made with bread and a hamburger is made with buns, which are not bread but bread rolls. Many people don't know that fact, especially in English speaking countries. Since hamburgers are a German invention, it only matters what they are in German. 87.175.254.83 (talk) 06:27, 19 October 2015 (UTC)
 * Provide a reliable source that " buns...are not bread but bread rolls". Provide a reliable source that "hamburgers are a German invention". I dare you. As for your last clause, that's just pure ignorance and absurdity.-- ɱ    (talk  ·  vbm)  06:32, 19 October 2015 (UTC)


 * YOU are ignorant. Have you even read this article?! Here is the proof:


 * "The hamburger is named after Hamburg, Germany." source: Hamburger


 * Have you read the article about rolls? "Rolls are common in Europe, especially in Germany [...] the German language has many local and dialectal terms for rolls, such as Brötchen [...], which is the diminutive of "Brot" (bread)" source: Bread roll


 * Hamburg is older than the US, Brötchen (rolls) are older than the US and Germans eat rolls with ground beef aka Hamburger longer then the US exists. How can you even consider Hamburgers to be a US invention? 87.175.254.83 (talk) 10:34, 19 October 2015 (UTC)
 * Have you even read the link to reliable sources" Wikipedia is not one of them! Nonetheless, "Named after" is very, very different from "birthplace of". Nowhere here does it state that Germany is the birthplace of the hamburger. The article about rolls, sure, lists the German words for bread and for rolls. but says nothing of buns or that they aren't bread. So, please, again, provide a reliable source that " buns...are not bread but bread rolls". Provide a reliable source that "hamburgers are a German invention". I dare you. And still, the idea that Germany is all that matters is an awful statement of ignorance.-- ɱ    (talk  ·  vbm)  16:16, 19 October 2015 (UTC)

The term hamburger originally derives from Hamburg,[2] Germany's second largest city.

 * No, a hamburger is a hamburger regardless of whether it is served as a sandwich or alone. older ≠ wiser 16:34, 20 August 2015 (UTC)

From the introductory paragraph: "Hamburgers are sold at fast-food restaurants, diners, specialty restaurants (where burgers may sell for several times the cost of a burger) and high-end restaurants. There are many international and regional variations of the hamburger."

Where burgers may sell for several times the cost of a burger??? This parenthetical is blatant nonsense.

You english speaking people are wrong
First of all: I am from Germany, so what I say is correct. The article is correct as it says that a hamburger is a German invention originated in Hamburg, but you are calling it a sandwich. Don't you know that a sandwich is something different? A sandwich is made with some kind of bread (Brot). A burger is made with rolls (Brötchen). I've seen many articles with this particular fault. I've seen it even in restaurants in the US and the UK. In my opinion you don't know that this is wrong, right?

 * 'Sandwich' is a very loose term that can fit a variety of different food items. In many places, the word 'sandwich' can also describe a hamburger.

Oh, I think you don't understand what I'm saying. Not this article in this "international"* encyclopedia is wrong - your language is. Perhaps this fault is because you think hamburger buns were bread (Brot). They are not. Hamburger buns are rolls (Brötchen). A sandwich is made with bread, not with rolls. This is why a hamburger is not a sandwich.

* en.wikipedia.org is obviously not an international but an English encyclopedia.87.175.254.83 (talk) 19:18, 18 October 2015 (UTC)
 * Rolls are a form of bread in American English. FYI this is an international encyclopedia.

If rolls are really a form of bread in American English than you should correct this fault in your language too. A roll is not a bread.

It seems like you make the mistake to call this an "international" encyclopedia, because you think it is sufficient if it is USED by people from more than one country. That's wrong. That makes absolutely no sense. It is clearly an English encyclopedia, because it is written in English. Otherwise every encyclopedia would be an international encyclopedia because we can assume that each encyclopedia is at least read by one stranger.

I agree that a roll is a bread product, but a sandwich contains BREAD, not some BREAD PRODUCT. The word Brötchen is a diminutive of Brot. 4.

Please add that the July 16, 1997 Chicago Tribune cites the Tremont Hotel as listing "Steak Hambourgeoise" in 1877 - source link - http://articles.chicagotribune.com/1997-07-16/entertainment/9707220045_1_chicago-river-food-city-oysters/3 — Preceding unsigned comment added by 170.200.128.10 (talk) 19:28, 31 March 2017 (UTC)

Origin is NOT Germany
Origin is unknown.. just another claim of invention. Like 10000s of stories of how pizza was invented. DawedalRaqqa (talk) 05:23, 22 April 2017 (UTC)


 * Yes, i think also. Maybe, Hamburger Steak is German. But never the Hamburger in that american creation we have since 1895 or later. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2003:D1:27FF:1D55:E859:9E9B:DD43:BB62 (talk) 14:29, 12 June 2018 (UTC)

"A slider is a very small square hamburger patty sprinkled with diced onions and served on an equally small bun."
That may have originally been the case, but they are certainly no longer necessarily square or sprinkled with diced onions. They have developed as many variations as "normal" hamburgers, as is well known (and was inevitable). Kostaki mou (talk) 17:27, 12 April 2018 (UTC)

Back-formation
How is hamburger a back-formation if it's named for Hamburg and back-formation refers to removing parts of a word, not adding? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 184.74.151.135 (talk) 16:31, 15 June 2018 (UTC)

The first paragraph says that burgers may be barbecued; while they can, it's more likely that they will be grilled. "Barbecue" denotes cooking over long periods of low heat, while "grilling" denotes cooking for shorter periods of more intense heat. --71.33.137.169 (talk) 17:07, 23 June 2018 (UTC)

Merger from steak burger
I propose that steak burger be merged into hamburger. "Steak burger" appears to be a marketing term for a hamburger claimed to be of superior quality, but there is no clear distinction between a steak burger and a hamburger (see Talk:Steak burger/Notes). --Macrakis (talk) 15:53, 26 June 2018 (UTC)
 * Support Merge. Even though I have been a fan of Steak and Shake for at least 40 years, I recognize that the term "Steakburger" is really just a marketing issue. Unsch</b><b style="color: #7ED324;">ool</b> 04:25, 1 July 2018 (UTC)


 * I agree. This is clearly a marketing term with no legal or even consensus defintion. It simply belongs with hamburger.Explainador (talk) 13:56, 5 July 2018 (UTC)
 * Support per above — python coder   (talk &#124; contribs) 17:12, 5 July 2018 (UTC)
 * Support also per above. The conclusion derived from the reference collected on the notes subpage seems conclusive that there is no real difference between a "hamburger" and a "steakburger" as both seem to be made largely of various cuts of beef and include trimmings. The term does seem to be no more than a marketing gimmick. Geoff &#124; Who, me? 16:28, 13 July 2018 (UTC)
