The _Brooklyn Nine-Nine_ star teamed with California-based Umami Burger to create the Samberger. (Bet you didn’t see that coming.) It’s part of Umami’s Artist Series, which calls on celebrities to create unique burger combinations, _People_ [reports](http://greatideas.people.com/2014/09/17/andy-samberg-umami-burger-samberger/). Then, part of the proceeds go to a charity of the star’s choosing. Inspired by a classic [Chicago hot dog](http://time.com/3013547/hot-dog-university/), the Samberger includes a beef patty, spicy sport peppers, roasted tomatoes, chopped dill pickles, kombu relish, roasted garlic aioli, poppy seeds and yellow mustard. “We tried many combinations and flavors, and ultimately landed on a Chicago Dog-themed burger that has literally nothing to do with me, ” the actor said in a release. “But it tasted really good so we went with it.” > [](https://twitter.com/greatideas/status/512352709513469952) The Samberger will be available at Umami locations nationwide for $13 beginning Sep. 23, and $1 from each sale will go to the Center for Early Intervention of Deafness. ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/3397879/andy-samberg-umami-burger/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/3397879/andy-samberg-umami-burger/"},"headline":"Andy Samberg Has His Very Own Hamburger Now","datePublished":"2014-09-18T14:56:06.000Z","dateModified":"2026-04-13T07:13:17.625Z","description":"Is it called The Samberger?
