    Here is a real burger, comes with chips, not fries.

    Made the same way since back in the day - with three fresh-grilled 100% chicken breast fillets, crisp lettuce, cheese, creamy mayo and Oporto's legendary chilli sauce. Epic.

    How am I wrong?

    You guys sound crazy or narrow minded when it comes to burgers

    Dude, DYEAmerica?

    Dyeamerica? What?

    Adding to the idea you're crazy :p

    Maybe speak in whole words

    DYEInternetAcronyms?

    Do you even? I didn't think that was a common enough phrase to need an acronym but still doesn't explain why I was wrong.

    Or are you just going to respond with more useless acronyms?

    If so don't bother. In here for serios conversations about burgers, beef, chicken, lamb, lentil, even tofu burgers

    No, that is not a burger. That is a chicken filet sandwich. Not a burger.

    Its called a Bondi burger. Looks more like a burger than a sandwich.

    If you replace the chicken with beef would it be a beef sandwich? No that would be ridiculous. So is the idea that chicken can't be a burger.

    You guys and your crazy ideas.

    Just because that restaurant has no idea of the difference between a burger, (which I would venture to guess most people understand to mean a patty of ground meat) and a filet, doesn't mean they are correct.

    Unless that is ground chicken.

    Burger: Source: http://www.thefreedictionary.com/burger

    burg·er (bûr′gər)
    n.
    1. A sandwich consisting of a bun, a cooked beef patty, and often other ingredients such as cheese, onion slices, lettuce, or condiments. Often used in combination: a cheeseburger.
    2. A similar sandwich with a nonbeef filling. Often used in combination: a crab burger; a tofu burger.



    Patty: Source: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Patty

    A patty, in American, Australian and New Zealand English, is a flattened, usually round, serving of ground meat or meat alternatives. The meat is compacted and shaped, cooked, and served. Patties can be eaten with a knife and a fork in dishes like Salisbury steak, but are typically served in a sort of sandwich called a "burger", or a hamburger if the patty is made from ground beef. The patty itself can also be called a burger, whether or not it is served in a sandwich, especially in the United Kingdom and Ireland, where the term "patty" is rarely used.

    Similar-shaped meat cakes not made from ground beef may also be called "burger": "turkey burgers" or "fishburgers" may be made from reshaped mechanically separated meat. Sometimes burgers are breaded. Veggie burger patties are made without animal products. In Ireland, traditional chippers often serve batter burger (a beef-based patty dipped in batter and deep fried) or spice burger (a savory patty made with a proprietary recipe of meats and spices).[1] These are served in a greaseproof paper bag and eaten with the hands.

    I'm a vegetarian and know better than to come on a thread about burgers waxing poetic about the chickpea cauliflower "burgers" I made today.

    Usually, a burger at least comes in patty form. The sandwich you showed clearly was filled with chicken filets.

    Your definition seems to include chicken burgers too.

    2. A similar sandwich with a nonbeef filling. Often used in combination: a crab burger; a tofu burger.
    non beef as in a chicken fillet?

    Just a guess here but your american, I'm Australian, seems perfectly reasonable that we have different definitions for a burger.

    Your definition is narrow and mine isn't.

    Burger to me is less about the meat and how it is processed and more about the type of bread it is encased in.

    Take one of your burgers and replace it the meat with a chicken fillet, still a burger, still a burger to just about anyone I asked here. Replace it with a veggie patty, still a burger. Replace it with a minute steak, still a burger.

    NOPE, here in America, to be called a burger it must have "ground" meat or meat substitute (veggie people). What you are describing is called a sandwich.

    GROUND meat...not a filet.

    Chicken filet =/= Burger

    Personally, I'm not sure I'd even allow anything besides Ground Beef to be TRULY called a burger - any more than I'd allow something with zucchini noodles to be called lasagne or cauliflower crust to be called pizza. But then again, I tend to take burgers pretty seriously.

    It's true, and I'll fill that "you can eat ____ as long as it's within the calorie budget" blank with much more questionable things than burgers. Right now, my big thing is ramen noodles. Why? Because they taste good.
