Burger Combo

A Burger Combo is a classic American fast-food meal that typically includes a hamburger or cheeseburger served alongside French fries and a soft drink. The burger itself is a ground beef patty placed in a sliced bun, often with toppings like lettuce, tomato, onion, pickles, and condiments such as ketchup and mustard. This convenient and satisfying meal format became a staple of 20th-century American dining culture and has since been adopted worldwide.
