That would make it a typical family meal for you and your kin. I have
often advised people that if a restaurant has meatloaf or meatloaf
sandwiches on their menu you should order it because it is likely to be
good. Other than higher end places, there aren't many restaurants that
don't have burgers on the menu. There are a number of fast food
franchises that specialize in burgers. Most have diversified a little,
but the vast majority of their meals involved hamburgers.

Hamburgers might be a popular menu item. But that does not make them a
traditions.
