Yeah I always figured etymologically hamburger was a knock at German immigrants (who might or might not have been from Hamburg.) based on the foods they ate, which were rough analogues, if even that, of the foods they ate in the country from which they came.
Similar to how we get other terms like French fries or Canadian bacon or English muffins.
