At football, back in the 80's Chelsea used to sell them pre-wrapped in foil which kept the bread soft and with splash of relish - Michelin star material in terms of football grub.
Talking of burgers got my mind thinking back. Who remembers the Cockney Burger that used to be where the curry house is now on Wellington Gardens? Their burgers were huge and very tasty. They used to wrap them in foil as well. The thing that stands out about them even from 30 years ago is the price. I am sure they were around the £2 mark even then!

I remember them, had one on a Tuesday night game when we drew 2.2 and a classy Paul Walsh scored a double for us. I think I can recall those burgers being called Thermal Burgers! I also remember a tidy mob of the older Charlton lot(Fatties,etc) went in the shed and caused a stir lol!
in the days before I became a veggie the two best places for burgers were the Blackheath burger bar, a van that opened late nights next to the tea hut on the heath and sold pineapple cheese burgers (yes, it really worked), and the burger farm in Ladywell. Neither of which are now a going concerns.
Used to be a place in Blackpool by the escalators up to Palace nightclub that did Octoburgers. 8 burgers in a bun. Just onions ketchup and cheese available as condiments. Hit the spot at 3am.

Hawksmoor's new pork burger is the best burger I've ever eaten. Pork burger with pulled pork and crackling, stuffing and apple sauce.
