Oh. Dunno. Steaks just don't work on a bun, I suppose. We wanted to create something simple and handheld and akin to sandwiches and using ground beef seemed to work I suppose. According to Wikipedia, some guy in Wisconsin was trying to sell meatballs at a county or state fair but nobody was buying them because they were too difficult to eat. So he flattened them and put them on a bun. Explains why we use ground beef and how it evolved.
