Consumer research shows almost half of shoppers purchase ground beef once a week at retail, and two-thirds report eating ground beef at least once a week.

Plant-based burgers are enjoying a major growth spurt.

The numbers tell the story: Burgers are a bonanza for foodservice operators.

Americans’ love affair with burgers isn’t over. In fact, it’s only just begun.

Americans just don’t get tired of burgers. The all-American sandwich is featured on most menus and is branching into meaty, upscale, indulgent versions as beef prices continue to decline.

An item as American as apple pie, the hamburger is also the perfect vehicle for introducing consumers to new trends, international flavors and formats.
