Tesla Model S is a sedan and KFC sells burgers, if you say otherwise you're a semantic nazi
I think to most people "burger" implies a ground beef patty, and a non-beef sandwich can only be a burger in a metaphorical sense.
This seems to be a difference between US and UK English.
"Chicken Burger" is a reasonably cromulent expression in the UK, but it would always be a "Chicken Sandwich" on the other side of the Atlantic.
Also, "Turkey Burger" has some currency, although that might have just been an extensive marketing campaign trying to convince Americans to swap ground beef for ground turkey.

Bob Holness played the saxophone on "Baker Street".
Raphael Ravenscroft for anyone wondering. His daughter Scarlett Raven is a successful visual artist combining traditional impressionist paintings with augmented reality.
The whole Shohei Ohtani fiasco from Toronto's perspective. Wow, people bit hard on that. To be fair, everyone was waiting on confirmation. But, seriously, a writer for the Dodgers makes the first call, then people are checking Flight Aware, there's a restaurant reservation rumoured, and on and on.
Finally, the flight lands and one of the Dragon's Den guys hops out. Word comes down that he's signed with the Dodgers.
Seems to me like it was misreported on purpose, using Toronto as a foil.
