Is it ham? No, it’s beef. Is it steamed? No, it’s grilled. So then, what do you call it? Steamed ham.

Because it’s an Albany expression.

It also tastes quite similar to Krusty Burgers.

Is it ham?

Yes, it’s a hamburger steak sandwich. Ham for short!

Is it steamed?

Yes, it’s steamed over onions, slider style.

So then, what do you call it?

A waste of my time and yours.

Despite the fact they are obviously grilled?

Maybe they had a place that did their burgers like white castle. The meat is cooked on top of onions so it is technically steamed rather than grilled.

First burgers were actually steamed in little trays.

I think people are missing the Simpsons reference.

My guess is yes, on account of me living in the Capital District for two decades and never heard hamburgers referred to as steamed ham. I rarely watch the Simpson’s, so it all makes sense now.

Nah, I refuse to believe that people who live in this county are like, “Hey buddy, want to stop by Wedny’s for a steamed ham?” Get real, they watch the same commercials as the rest of us.

A lot of us are obsessed with free software and dedicate our entire existence to not doing even the slightest most minor thing that might support corporate corruption and enshitification, not even sit through a 15 second ad.

I don’t even know what burger commercials look like.

God I’d go for a burger right now. Your comment literally worked as an ad for me.
