Double Burger
The burger that got Hesburger onto an American list of the greatest fast-food burgers ever made. Two patties with cheese and the chain’s creamy sauces make it simple and satisfying, and the sauces are the part Finns get attached to. It is the order most visitors from abroad are told to try first.
The story
In January 2025 Yahoo Life ranked Hesburger’s Double Burger 18th in its list of the 41 greatest fast-food burgers of all time, the rare Nordic entry among American classics. For a chain that started as a street kiosk in the 1960s, it was a pleasing bit of recognition.

About Hesburger
Heikki Salmela, known as Hese, started with a street food kiosk in Finland in 1966 and opened the first proper Hesburger in Turku in 1980. The name comes straight from his nickname, and the business is still firmly Finnish in character, from its garlic mayo to its rye-bread options.
Around 470 restaurants in Finland, the Baltic states, Poland, Germany, Bulgaria, Romania and Ukraine.
