May
National Hamburger Month

A hamburger is a type of sandwich that consists of a cooked beef patty placed between two buns. The patty is typically seasoned with salt and pepper, and may be topped with other ingredients such as cheese, lettuce, tomato, onion, pickles, and condiments like ketchup, mustard, or mayo. The hamburger is believed to have originated in the United States in the late 19th century, although the exact origin is disputed. It became popular in the early 20th century, particularly as fast food chains like McDonald's began to expand and serve hamburgers in their restaurants. Today, hamburgers are a popular food all over the world and can be found in a variety of styles and variations. Some people prefer a classic, simple burger with just cheese and ketchup, while others enjoy more elaborate burgers with multiple toppings and sauces. Hamburgers are often served with side dishes like fries, onion rings, or coleslaw, and are commonly found in fast food restaurants, diners, and other casual dining establishments. They are also commonly grilled at home during summertime cookouts and barbecues.
