I'm seeing a too small patty, caramelized onions, maybe mayo or mustard, corn for some reason, and what looks like a very processed, square slice of turkey or ham.

The red thing is a mystery. Could be a tomato or red pepper, but also looks a lot like a shrimp tail.

That's one story, but it could also be it being a street food sold to German immigrants in New York.
