Here in west Michigan, Grand Rapids area, is the only place I've ever heard folks refer to a hamburg instead of a hamburger. It's not everyone but some say it and a few restaurants have a 'Hamburgs' section on the menu.

And once I saw a documentary on the tube about former presidnet Gerry Ford, a GR native, talking about someone who came to visit him after he was out of office and he mentioned they had lunch together, hamburgs.

Anyone know if that term is used elsewhere?

What are the burgers floating in that we would bob for? This might be the determining factor for me.

Aside from Grand Rapids, I'm not aware of any other area that still refers to hamburgers as hamburgs. In the 1800's, immigrants to the United States from Germany brought with them the Hamburg Steak. It eventually evolved to what is now known as the hamburger. The hamburg steak was named after the German city of Hamburg. Residents of Hamburg are referred to as Hamburgers.

Okay, good. 'Cuz if they were going to be bobbing in a fry cooker, I'd probably just go for the clowns and the face painting.

I've had beer and butter burgers before. The burgers were fried up and soaked in a mix of heated beer and butter.
