What Most People Don't Know About Andy Samberg

When we mention food and celebrities, you may picture your favorite Food Network personalities or competitive YouTube eaters. You might even think about Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson and his massive cheat day meals. While Andy Samberg might not come to mind, perhaps he should because the star helped to create a burger that was named after him.

In 2014, the actor teamed up with Umami Burger, a chain that has also worked with Cindy Crawford, Jaden Smith, The Black Keys, and Alton Brown. Appropriately deemed The Samberger, People explains that the comedian's Chicago-style hot dog-inspired burger features "a beef patty topped with spicy sport peppers, roasted tomatoes, chopped dill pickles, relish made out of kombu (an edible kelp), roasted garlic aioli, poppy seeds, and yellow mustard." 

"I worked tirelessly 'munchin around' with the Umami Burger team to design a burger that would best represent everything I stand for," Samberg shared, per EW. Saying that they "tried many combinations and flavors, and ultimately landed on a Chicago Dog-themed burger," he noted, "[It] has literally nothing to do with me. But it tasted really good so we went with it."

Costing $13, the aforementioned outlets pointed out that $1 of that was going to be donated to the Center for Early Intervention of Deafness. Although when Umami Burger brought some for the cast of "Brooklyn Nine-Nine," they probably let the actors have the food for free.
