This brings to mind the old arcade game, BurgerTime. It may sound silly, but it's a possible map. It would take some artistic talent to make it happen.
Perhaps not limit it to hamburgers, but make it a Diner Kitchen? The continents are menu items/meals (displayed overhead, like at McDonalds), the territories are the ingredients. Meat in the freezer, vegetables in the fridge, cheese and bread on the counter, canned goods in the cupboard, fries, chicken wings, and onion rings in the deep fat fryer. Bonus for owning the fridge, freezer, etc. as well.
So you would see "Cheeseburger" on the menu and know you have to conquer: Cheddar Cheese, Hamburger Bun, Ground Beef, Lettuce, Tomato, and Pickles for +bonus. Side of Fries and/or Coleslaw = +1 bonus. Maybe separate into Hamburger, Cheeseburger and Deluxe Ham/Cheeseburger depending on the combination.
Other menu items might include:
Cheddar Cheese + Bread (+pickle, tomato?) = Grilled Cheese Sandwich
Lettuce + Tomato + Cucumber + Dressing = House Salad
Tomato + Ground Beef + Beans + Cheddar Cheese = Chili
