My dad sometimes eats hamburgers with chopsticks. I used to think this was odd until I realized that, after two decades in America, the idea of picking up food with both hands and lifting it to your mouth is still weird to him.
Oddly enough, he stopped doing this when we moved to Taiwan.
It takes some skill--you can't just pick it up in the middle like with most foods. My dad managed it by clasping near the edge of the burger in narrow V, scooping up the burger so the clasped end was at the bottom left edge, and letting the thickest part (in the middle of the bun) get stuck between the prongs of the V. Sort of like how I'd imagine you'd eat a burger with a giant nutcracker, or a backwards pair of tongs.
He'd still occasionally drop pickles and bits of tomato and stuff. It was amusing.
