hamburger sauce

Patty's pink topping

Hamburger sauce is a condiment for burgers, typically a creamy, tangy blend combining mayonnaise, ketchup, mustard, and pickle relish—essentially what fast-food chains call "special sauce." The term is loose; any sauce served on hamburgers might be called hamburger sauce: I make my own hamburger sauce with a little sriracha.
