A hamburger (or, less frequently, a hamburg, or in the United Kingdom, a beefburger) is a variant on a sandwich involving a patty of ground meat that is almost always beef. The meat can be grilled, fried, steamed, or broiled, and is generally served with various condiments inside a bun baked specially for this purpose. Burgers are often served with french fries.

Hamburgers are a common picnic and party food cooked outdoors on barbecue grills. Hamburgers are also very good for backyard grilling and for home use. Hamburger patties are raw when first bought and may contain harmful bacteria, therefore caution is needed when handling them.

Many fast food restaurants rely heavily on the hamburger sandwich for the bulk of their sales. The McDonald's chain of restaurants sells a burger called the Big Mac that is the world's best selling, and also most prefered by customers. Other major fast-food chains, such as Burger King, Whataburger, Carl's Jr., Wendy's, Jack-in-the-Box, White Castle, In-N-Out Burger, and Sonic also rely heavily on hamburger sales. Fuddruckers is also a popular hamburger chain that specializes in the higher-end "restaurant-style" variety of hamburgers.
