Pretty much the same for me, although I’ll go with pulykamell in passing up the bad lettuce and tomato you usually get. I don’t get ketchup either, but it’s no big deal either way.
There used to be a burger place not too far away called Wild Bill’s that had what they called a Bacon, Bacon, Bacon Burger. (Yes, three orders of bacon.) It closed quite a while ago.
I’ve heard that beets are a popular hamburger topping in Australia and New Zealand.
The beetroot slices must be straight out of a tin only. None of that fresh rubbish.
Pineapple slices too.
I second this without the mushrooms. Toast the bun please.
Oh, and make it real bread, not that soft spongy stuff.
I put the Blue Cheese into the patty. Medium/Medium Rare on a toasted Onion Roll, very light mayo, a hint of yellow mustard, liberal use of the bacon, a couple pickles and “other” (avacado).
Sauteed Mushrooms now and then. Kinda hard to eat at that point. Serve with Garlic Steak Fries and a cold beer.
Afterword- more beer, pinball, karoake, more beer, darts, beer and fireworks!
burger king smoky cheddar steakhouse xt is currently my favorite, perfect burger
features a flame-broiled, almost-half-pound beef patty (7 ounces), barbecue sauce, lettuce, and tomatoes, four strips of bacon, and two slices of Cheddar cheese on a special cornmeal-dusted bun
best burger I’ve found in 10 years
Yep. When I lived there I was skeptical at first but tried one, and it was great! If I ever make hamburgers at home I will be sure to add sliced beets.
Smoked gouda!
No brown sauce?!
My perfect burger…right now.
Butter toasted sesame seed roll slightly larger in diameter than the meat patties. Use two relatively thin patties, cooked medium well with one thin slice of sharp cheddar between the patties. Top with mustard, an onion slice and a spoonful of chili-con-carne.
This will probably change by lunchtime.
I’m a vegetarian so hold the burger. insert obligatory Jack Nicholson joke here
My perfect burger is what I order at Wendy’s: a single with mayo, ketchup, and pickles.
That’s my go-to burger in most situations, but sometimes how I get/make them varies: I always get the same thing at Wendy’s, and I also love McDonald’s hamburgers (the regular ones, not quarter pounders or anything), but at restaurants or cookouts I’ve been known to have cheese (American, Cheddar, or Pepper Jack), bacon, and/or raw onions on my burgers.
Cheddar cheese, grilled onions, bacon, lettuce, tomato, and BBQ sauce.
Hot Pastrami. A staple at any burger/gyro joint in Utah, such as Crown Burgers, Astro Burgers, or Apollo Burgers. Sadly, I can’t find anything like it outside of Utah.
Also, guacamole (probably not both guacamole and pastrami, though). Smashburger’s Baja is a good one.
Another favorite of mine at a few burger joints is a burger dressed like a buffalo chicken.
Guaaaacaaaamooooleeeeeeeeee!!!
Fried onion, ketchup, mayo. I’m a man of simple tastes (and I don’t eat cheeseburgers or bacon).
Watch me win the fuck out of the thread:
Bacon, swiss, sauteed mushrooms + onions, A1 sauce, and mayonaise.
I like a basic cheese burger, spicy mustard, no ketchup. I sometimes leave off the salad. It’s not that I don’t like it, it just makes it messier. The raw onion can stay though.
Properly done, a burger should have mustard, ketchup, thinly-sliced tomato, shredded lettuce, sweet pickle relish, diced or thinly sliced onion and maybe a slice of Pepper Jack cheese. The use of leaf lettuce on burgers is an abomination, especially ones with other toppings on them. The lettuce always pulls out of the burger and dumps the onions into your lap. The burger should also be of a proper size. Monster burgers are for amateurs.
Walmarticus - “mayo” = “fail”
Bacon, blue cheese, grilled onions, tomato, lettuce, hot peppers, steak sauce (which was missing). I want a burger now.
