Who is the OP? His name sounds so familiar. Didn’t he voice Jiminy Cricket? I thought he was dead.

Yes, they cut off my head…but that Dr. Gogol…he put it BACK.

Thanks for all the neat replies, people. I’ve got to do the fried egg thing. Is the yolk supposed to goosh out all over your hands when you bite into the burger, or should I go the “over medium” route?

Mancini? Never heard of them before, but after looking at the website I want them! I just don’t know if I want them a whole case worth, you know? Gonna have to start asking around out here and see if anybody carries their product line.

They also work amazingly well on a grilled Italian sausage on a toasted brat bun.

He’s from New York City.

That’s the only place you can get cream cheese by the schmear.

As a resident of da foist-rate boohrow of Brooklyn, I plan on frying that egg in chicken fat.

We have a local place called Big Orange. I’ve not had a burger of theirs, yet, that wasn’t delicious, but my absolute favorite is the White Truffle and Pecorino (Pecorino Cheese, Arugula, Fig Jam, White Truffle, and Mayo)! The Maytag Blue is a close second.

The bar I frequent had a ReuBurger recently. A burger topped with corned beef, sauerkraut, thousand island dressing, and Swiss cheese. Not bad

I went to a diner last year where the special was a pulled pork reuben, which was really good.

I like the runny yolk; sorta like a special sauce effect.

I’ll admit those Californians hit on a good idea when they started putting avocado slices on burgers.

I wholeheartedly agree, but as I re-experienced at this local SFL chain last night (OneBurger-menu), it’s damn near impossible to keep the slices on the burger when you bite into it.

I can’t remember what this burger was called, other than my favorite.

Grilled onions
Grilled mushrooms
Swiss cheese
Sour cream
Toasted bun

Maybe not fancy or exotic enough for this thread, but I could eat those all day!!

The Grand Slam burger at Denny’s has a fried egg, hash browns, bacon and nacho cheese on it. It’s not bad as far as Denny’s goes. I wouldn’t say it’s the best, but I would recommend it to a “conservative burger friend”. I have yet to make a version of this at home, but I’m sure it would be much better than Denny’s.

Sunday I grilled burgers over a hot oak fire. 80/20 ground chuck, chopped onion, fresh chopped jalapeno, and 1/4 inch cubes of sharp cheddar mixed into the meat with typical spices plus cumin, paprika, and a dash of cayenne. Cooked about ten inches off the fire, got a good char, some medium, some well, some with a slice of American cheese on top. Toasted bun with slices of fresh tomato and onion, iceberg lettuce, bun dressed with some Head barbecue sauce and homemade aioli with Yucateco Green Habanero Sauce mixed in.

Too much stuff.

Over medium, but still pretty soft. That + bacon on your burger, and you got something there.

Damn if I can remember where but I had one with fresh ground beef, bacon and a slab (not slice) of heavily maple flavored cheese. Simple but rich.
