Islak hamburger (English: wet hamburger) or Taksim hamburger is a type of Turkish street food consisting of a hamburger soaked in tomato sauce. It is then typically served with mayonnaise. It is particularly popular around the area of Taksim Square in Istanbul.[1][2]
History
Restaurant chain Kristal Büfe claims that founder Ahmet Yazıcı invented the islak hamburger accidentally after hastily trying to prepare a burger with boiling tomato sauce.[3] The burgers were already being stored in open cases allowing them to be quickly served hot despite becoming soggy from the resulting steam.[4]
