If you build it, will they come? When it comes to burgers, building it is just a matter of construction. But a burger naming also is an art … and a big part of the attraction.
There are many avenues for choosing burger names. You can play off your operation’s theme, honor family members, get edgy, or simply stick with straightforward names that prevent elaborate menu explanations.
Keep it simple
Park Burger (Denver, Colorado): Park Burger, Mini Park Burger, Double Park Burger, Veggie Park Burger, Buffalo Park Burger, and the Turkey Park Burger.
Fritz’s (Kansas City, Missouri): Old-Fashioned Hamburger (grilled onions, mustard and pickles), Twin Old-Fashioned Hamburger, Triple Old-Fashioned Hamburger, Quad Old-Fashioned Hamburger, and the Kitchen Sink Burger (a twin Old-Fashioned with lettuce, tomato, grated Italian cheese, grilled onions, mayo, hot sauce, pickles served on a seeded bun).
Name names

Theme it up
