It certainly counts at Jack in the Box. The Sourdough Jack is definitely a burger.
Jack in the Box
Order Jack in the Box online for pickup or delivery. Explore the menu and find locations near you.
So if you put a hamburger patty on another form of carbohydrate, does that count as a burger? If you put it in a pitta on or on a pizza? On a naan or in an English muffin? How about a breakfast muffin? Soda cracker? Ritz cracker? Saltine? Chocolate digestive? Inquiring minds want to know.

A Burger is ground beef, formed into a patty, grilled, and served on a bun. Variations of two steps are allowed before it becomes Not A Burger.
So a grilled ground beef patty can be put on a pita, a muffin, or a chocolate digestive and still be called a burger. A fried mushroom patty on a bun can be a burger. A grilled ground chicken patty on Texas toast is a burger. But a piece of fried chicken on a bun is a chicken sandwich because it is not ground, not a patty, and not grilled. Beef that is shaved or sliced and put on bread is a beef sandwich (and may be an Italian Beef, a Philly cheesesteak, a hoagie, etc.) because it is not ground, not a patty, and not on a bun.
YMMV.

NO!!!
And it has to be on a bun, and you have to be able to eat it with your hands. These are non-negotiable for me.
There’s burger joints & restaurants (usually diners & steakhouses) in the USA that serve burgers with alternative patties. Variants besides beef I’ve had:
Bison (buffalo)
Boar
Ostrich
Chicken
Turkey
Pork
Beef/pork blend
Venison
Mushroom cap
Mushroom/beef blend
Camel
Black Bean/Tofu* beef simulants
And those weren’t exhaustive of the options.
* unfortunately for me, while I liked the flavors of most of the beef simulants I’ve had, every one of them has triggered mild allergic reactions.

I have to ask, when it comes to burgers, does anyone here order them less than Medium-Well?
I've been taught all my life how dangerous that is and still remember the Jack-in-the-Box e.coli fiasco in the 90's. Why is it all of a sudden normalized? Did something change or are people just more daring again?
