How to Sign “Burger” in Sign Language

The ASL sign for "burger" is a classic, just like your favorite backyard barbecue. Stack your hands one on top of the other, mimicking a burger patty nestled between two buns. This sign comes in handy whether you're at a drive-thru, grilling with friends, or craving a bite from your favorite burger joint.
