Quarter Pounder
Four-ounce patty sandwich
A Quarter Pounder is a hamburger made with a quarter-pound beef patty before cooking, most associated with McDonald's, which trademarked the name.
The term has become shorthand for any similarly sized burger: I'll have a quarter pounder with cheese.
The name references pre-cooked weight, which shrinks during grilling.
