The humble hamburger has a mixed history, with claims made by Germany
that they were the first country to invent the iconic American dish.
But Americans steadfastly claim to be the first inventor of putting a
ground beef patty between two pieces of bread, although the name is
thought to be associated with a European emigrant's last port before
leaving Europe: the German city of Hamburg. A man named Fletcher Davis
from Athens, TX, is credited with inventing the "hamburger" during the
1880s.

 I think it has been invented independently by many cultures. The romans
had a streetfood version of hamburger as well.

 It does help me a little bit. ;) I think, if memory serves, that in
ancient rome they mixed pine nuts into the minced meat.

The old Romans must have liked pine nuts. My son makes Roman dates. It
was made with pine nuts and walnuts. My son's dates don't have any pine
nuts. It's a bit harder to find pine nuts on this rock, than it was in
the Roman Empire.

This is probably true! If you look at the arabian world, they do a lot of delicious stuff with nuts and honey. I would not be surprised at all that this also found its way into the roman empire.
